2 Haven Cottage

MATERIALS: regular coursed ironstone with limestone string course, late-C20 tile roof; C19 brick end and ridge stacks.

PLAN: 2-unit plan.

EXTERIOR: the building is of two storeys and attic. The main elevation is a three-window range. The entrance doorway between the second and third bays has a late-C20 plank door and light inserted into a former window. A C19 window on the left is inserted in a partially blocked doorway. The windows are C19 two-light casements with horizontal glazing bars, and late-C20 two and three -light casements. The ground floor openings have stone flat arches with keystones merging into the string course. There are two late-C20 box roof dormers. The rear has chamfered fire windows to left and right. Two openings have keystones; the central one is partially blocked.

INTERIOR: the ground-floor rooms, either side of the stair, each have exposed chamfered and scroll-stopped ceiling beams, and chamfered joists with run-out stops. There are wide fireplaces with bressumers over and stone uprights and linings to each of the ground-floor rooms. The stair rises between the two rooms. The first-floor rooms have similar exposed beams and joists to those in the ground-floor rooms. Beams straddling the chimney breasts in each of the end bedrooms have cut-out sections indicating the site of former winder stairs at each end of the building. The attic rooms have modern finishes; the principal rafters are boxed-in, and some of the purlins are C20 replacements.
