Description
Ferry Cottage, Myrtle Cottage, and The Ferry Inn are three buildings located in Stone-cum-Ebony, dating from the 18th century. The Ferry Inn and Ferry Cottage are constructed of red brick with a stone rubble base, while Myrtle Cottage features weatherboarding. All three buildings have tiled roofs. The Ferry Inn and Ferry Cottage are two stories tall with a total of five windows, and they feature a wooden eaves cornice with a machicolation pattern on the Cottage, along with intact glazing bars. Myrtle Cottage also has two stories and attics, with three windows, two hipped dormers, a hipped roof with pentice on both the north and south sides, vertical glazing bars that are intact, and a doorway topped with a flat hood. Historically, before the bridge was built, there was a ferry service with a toll-gate, and a board displaying the toll tariffs is attached to the front of The Ferry Inn. Inside The Ferry Inn, there is an inglenook fireplace.
