Description
Garden Cottage is a cottage dating from the mid-17th century, with extensions added in the late 17th or early 18th century, along with later modifications. The building is constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble and features a stone slate roof. The original two-cell plan has been extended by one bay to the left. The cottage is one storey high with an attic.
The original section has a small 19th-century casement window with a wood lintel on either side of a roughly central glazed door, and there are two leaded gabled eaves dormers. The slightly recessed extension includes a glazed door to the right, a small 19th-century casement to the left, and another casement directly below the eaves. An integral end stack to the right has a dripstone and capping, with a prominent semi-circular bread oven projection at the base, topped with two massive stone slabs.
At the rear, there are 19th-century casements with wood lintels, including two directly below the eaves and three on the ground floor. Inside, the centre and right ground-floor rooms have been combined into one space and feature a deep-chamfered spine beam, along with an oak winder staircase located to the right of the fireplace. The roof structure consists of a single-purlin design with principal rafters rising from the wall tops, arranged in three bays for the original cottage and extended by one bay to the left.
