Lavender Cottage

Lavender Cottage is a house dating from the early 17th century, with some exterior alterations from the early 18th century. It is built of uncoursed limestone rubble, with the left wall roughcast and brick quoins. The roof is covered with 20th-century tiles, and there is a concrete rendered brick stack. The house has a single-unit lobby-entry plan and is two storeys high, featuring a two-window range. There is a concrete lintel over a 20th-century door to the left, which has a mid-20th-century porch. The ground-floor casements have gauged brick flat arches, while the first-floor casements are topped with brick soldier arches. The roof is gabled, with an external stack on the left gable end. Attached to the left gable wall is an 18th-century lean-to with limestone rubble walling and a corrugated iron roof. Inside, there are 19th and 20th-century plank doors, as well as original ribbed doors leading to the newel stairs that rise next to the stack. A cyma-moulded beam can be found on the ground floor, and the two-bay collar-truss roof is mostly obscured.
