Description
Huntsfield Cottage, along with its adjoining pigsty and privy to the south, is a house built in the 18th century with later additions from the 19th century. The structure features a garden wall made of red brick and a clay plain tile roof with gabled ends. A large brick stack is located at the gable end.
The house has a small two-room layout with a central entrance leading directly into the kitchen on the right, which includes a large gable-end fireplace. The smaller unheated room is on the left. A winder staircase rises from the kitchen beside the front door to two attic chambers. In the 19th century, an outhouse was added to the left end, and another outhouse with an integral pigsty and run was constructed on the right end, along with a detached privy immediately to the south.
The exterior is one storey with an attic and features a two-window west front. The windows are 19th-century casements with two and three lights set in cambered arch openings, and there are two gabled dormers with cross-mullion-transom windows featuring iron casements. The central doorway also has a cambered brick arch and an old plank door. There is a small single-storey brick outhouse set back on the left and a 19th-century outhouse with an integral pigsty on the right, which includes a small brick-walled run at the front. The rear of the building is blind. The privy is a small square brick structure with a plain tile gabled roof and a plank door.
Inside, the kitchen features a chamfered axial beam with cyma stops and a large brick fireplace with a slightly cambered timber bressumer that has run-out stops on its chamfer. The smaller unheated room on the left has a later axial beam. The winder stairs have a simple balustrade, and there are plank doors throughout. The attics are ceiled, with intact common-rafter couples and battens, as well as clasped through-purlins.
