Cordwainers Cottage

Cordwainers Cottage is a 17th-century house located on Spout Hill, Leeds. The front elevation is constructed of red brick in English bond to the ground floor and header bond with some grey bricks to the first floor. The left end was rebuilt using red and grey brick in Flemish bond. The left gable end is tile-hung, while the right side is timber-framed with broad square panels and brick infill. The rear wall is later red brick in Flemish bond, and the roof is covered in plain tiles, half-hipped to the right. A red brick stack is slightly off-centre to the right. The windows are an irregular arrangement of four 19th-century two-light leaded casements on the first floor, and two similar casements with segmental heads on the ground floor. A boarded half-door with a flat, bracketed hood sits beneath the stack. A single-storey stone extension, also galleted, projects to the left. The interior has not been inspected. The house stands on a tall, galleted brick-coped plinth.
