Description
Oak Cottage is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is built of coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled Welsh slate roof, with an external end stack made of stone finished in 20th-century brick. The house has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys high with a two-window range. A timber lintel is positioned over the central late 19th-century half-glazed door, which is accompanied by a timber porch. Timber lintels are also present over the 20th-century windows. Inside, there is a cased beam on the left, a stop-chamfered beam, and an open fireplace on the right. The roof structure is a collar-truss design with butt purlins.
