Three Ways Cottage

Three Ways Cottage is a house dating to around the late 18th century. It was originally known as Threeways Farmhouse. The house has a timber frame, plastered and built upon a stone rubble plinth, with a stone rubble south gable. The roof is corrugated iron sheet with gabled ends, and includes brick gable end stacks, with one projecting from the south end.

The plan features a central through passage leading to two rooms originally heated by gable end stacks. The smaller room on the right has a pantry at the rear, accessible from the passage.

The east front is almost symmetrical with two windows. It features late 18th or 19th century three-light casement windows with glazing bars, and smaller attic casements set within eyebrow eaves, with pointed arch top panes. A central doorway has a plank door and a later gabled timber porch clad in corrugated iron sheets. At the rear, a central doorway is framed by pilasters, has a small canopy, and contains a plank door.

The ground floor rooms have roughly chamfered axial beams. Fireplaces contain cast-iron ranges, and the kitchen has a moulded shelf and winder stairs to the side of the stack. A simple balustrade exists at the top of the stairs. Other original joinery includes simple two-panel doors on both floors. A Victorian cast-iron grate is found in the left-hand chamber, and ceilings are plastered, with only wall plates exposed. Where plaster has fallen away, the light scantling timber frame is visible externally.
