Description
Rye Croft and Moon Cottage are two cottages that were originally three, dating from the mid-17th century with later alterations and additions. They are constructed from coursed squared limestone rubble and feature a steeply pitched stone slate roof laid in diminishing courses, with brick ridge and end stacks set on stone bases. The cottages are single storey plus attic and consist of three units. There are two entrances and one blocked entrance, all with hood moulds and label stops. The doors are plank and rail style with moulded wood door-frames.
To the left, there is a wood-mullioned and transomed window with an opening casement. Off-centre to the right, a canted bay window has a hipped slate roof, with the ends of a wood lintel visible on either side. To the right, another wood-mullioned and transomed window features an opening casement with a wrought-iron casement fastener. The cottages also have three gabled eaves dormers, each with stone slate roofs and wood casements that include wrought-iron casement fasteners. Inside Moon Cottage, there are stone flag floors, a 19th-century fireplace, a chamfered beam, and a plank door leading to a wooden winder staircase.
