Description

This cottage, located 40 metres north-west of The Parsonage Farmhouse, dates from around 1600 with some 19th-century alterations. It is timber framed and features white weatherboarding. The building is two storeys high and consists of two bays, with a slate-roofed lean-to on the north side. The main block has a peg tile roof, gabled at the east and hipped with a gablet at the west. The windows are small pane casements from the 19th and 20th centuries, and there are two tall stacks that rise from the junction of the main and lean-to roofs. A small lean-to porch with a slate roof is present on the north elevation. Inside, the cottage has jowled posts, internal serpentine bracing, and halved and bladed scarf joints. There is a cast iron yard pump from the 19th century against the north wall, featuring an ogee top and fluted barrel. Additionally, there is a range of timber framed and black weatherboarded implement sheds with peg tile roofs attached to the east end.
