Description
Moety Cottage is a late 16th-century house, altered in the 20th century. The exterior is timber-framed, rendered, and colourwashed, with a pantiled roof. It has two storeys and a four-window front. A former shop display window is centrally located on the ground floor, now containing two late 20th-century top-hung casement windows. A 20th-century door is to the right, with one casement window to either side of the door. Four similar casement windows are on the first floor, spaced irregularly. The house has a gabled roof and a ridge stack shared with the adjacent building to the south; a separate stack is on the rear roof slope. A full-length 20th-century outshut extends to the rear. The interior retains a timber frame of substantial timber, with corner tension braces, jowled and unjowled principal posts. The main ground-floor room features a chamfered bridging beam and a wide open fireplace. An inserted passageway leads to the first floor. A blocked 6-light diamond-mullioned window is visible at the rear. The roof is of the clasped purlin type.
