Lake Cottage

Lake Cottage is a cottage from the second half of the 16th century. It is constructed of mixed red and grey brick in English bond and has a plain tile roof. The building consists of three bays, featuring a central door on the front elevation and one rear door for each outer bay. It is one storey high with an attic, set on a galletted stone plinth. The left gable has a brick coped design, while the right gable is plain. There is a large brick gable end ridge stack on the left, which has a fillet.

The left gable end includes two round-headed chamfered brick attic windows set in shallow rectangular recesses, one of which retains the remains of a brick hood-mould. Above these are two smaller, similar unrecessed windows. The right gable end features a central rectangular recessed chamfered brick window with doors, and above it is a blocked round-headed chamfered brick window. There are three hipped dormers from the 19th century.

The fenestration is irregular, with one shallow rectangular brick recess on either side of the door, each containing three round-headed chamfered brick lights with later glazing bars. The low central round-headed doorway is set in a shallow rectangular recess, with radiating brick voussoirs and two bricks forming a raised keystone. The door is a 20th-century ribbed design with a rectangular light.

On the rear elevation, there are two doors similar to those on the front, with arches springing from plain imposts, alternating with irregularly spaced sets of three-light windows. There is a flat-roofed stone extension to the right. Inside, the ground floor features large cross-beams, and the butt side purlin roof has been altered in the 18th or 19th century, with three bays and an outer door to each.
