Description

Noah's Ark Cottage, formerly known as Noah's Ark Inn, is an 18th-century house that was originally an inn. It features two parallel ranges constructed from stone rubble with red brick dressings. The building has tiled roofs and end brick chimneystacks, standing two storeys tall with attics and three windows. The front range displays gable ends with brick tumbling-in and stone kneelers. The first floor has triple casements, while the ground floor features triple casements with round-headed arches. There is a simple central doorcase with a 20th-century Dutch door. Attached to the rear range is a one-storey stone outbuilding.
