Pear Tree Cottage

Pear Tree Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house, dating from the late 17th century, with possible earlier features. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and rubble, topped with a roof made of Stonesfield-slate and Welsh-slate, featuring ashlar gable stacks. The building has a three-unit cross-passage plan, which has been partly altered, and includes a rear service range. It stands two storeys high, plus an attic.

The front of the cottage has three windows made of ashlar, with leaded stone-mullioned windows of two, three, and two lights on both floors. To the left of the centre, there is a chamfered stone doorway, and a continuous moulded drip runs over the ground floor openings. The stacks are set on plinths and have moulded caps. The roof has been extended to the right to cover a cart entry that once had a loft above. The rear features additional mullioned windows and a central gabled stair tower. The left end wall is made of random rubble and may be older; it connects to a single-storey service range.

Inside, there is a large open fireplace with a cambered stop-chamfered bressumer and a bread oven, as well as a similar fireplace with a bread oven in the rear wing. The cottage also has winder stairs leading to the attics and a butt-purlin roof.
