Description
Jock's Cottage is a Grade II listed building, believed to have once served as an ale house. It dates from the 18th century and consists of two sections. The right-hand part is a single storey with attics, constructed from timber framing on a deep brick plinth, with red brick infilling. It features a shingled roof and an end brick chimney stack. This section has one and a half storeys and two windows, with 20th-century casements and eyebrow dormers. The rear elevation includes a plank door and a wooden weather hood. Inside, the ground floor room has a chamfered spine beam and a wooden bressumer above an open fireplace, which contains a 19th-century cast iron range, along with brick paved floors.
The left-hand part of the cottage is from the late 18th or early 19th century and is also a single storey with attics, built in English bond brickwork featuring some black brick headers. The east elevation has an early 19th-century leaded light casement window in the attic, mounted on pintle hinges. The ground floor includes two casements and a 20th-century plank door. The south elevation displays a tile-hung gable with a casement, while the ground floor has two casements with leaded lights and two doorcases with plank doors and wooden weather hoods supported by brackets. There is an early 19th-century outshut at the rear. The interior also contains a cellar and an angled open fireplace. The cottage is located on a historic drover's route and is reputed to have been an ale house.
