Stone Cottage

Stone Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century. It is constructed of rough-faced ashlar with a clay tile roof featuring fish-scale tile bands and coped verges on kneelers. There is an ashlar stack built into the southeast end and a brick ridge stack to the northwest of the centre. The house follows a three-room lobby entry plan: a kitchen to the northwest, a hall in the centre, and stairs and a former pantry occupying part of the southeast bay. It is two storeys high, with a first-floor band, and has three windows, each with three lights containing casements and chamfered mullions and surrounds. A two-light casement window is on the ground floor to the left. A 20th-century gabled porch is located to the left of the centre. Inside, the hall features a large inglenook fireplace with a firewindow in the northeast wall, and there are exposed chamfered ceiling beams. The roof truss consists of a king post, an interrupted collar, queen struts, and diagonal struts extending from the foot of each queen strut to the principal rafters. The property represents a good example of a 17th-century farmhouse.
