The Walnut Tree Cottage

The Walnut Tree Cottage is a house that dates from the 17th century and early 19th century, with alterations made around 1930. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble, while the early 19th-century section is faced with dressed limestone that is almost of ashlar quality. The cottage features stone slate roofs and has a one-unit plan with a two-unit addition to the left.

It is one storey high with an attic, and the addition includes extra storeys and a gable-lit attic. On the right side, there is an external stone end stack with a lean-to roof over a bread oven at the base and a brick top stage. The central gabled dormer has a three-light leaded wooden casement. The front has two windows, which are two- and three-light 20th-century leaded wooden casements, with the left-hand window having been a former doorway, indicated by straight joints. There is a wing at the rear.

On the left side, there is a central brick ridge stack. The left-hand part has two first-floor windows and three ground-floor windows; the left windows are two-light leaded metal casements, while the right features glazing bar sashes, one of which is boxed. All windows have stone cills and flat stone-arched heads. There is a mid-20th-century half-glazed door to the left with a 20th-century porch. The left-hand gable end has external stone steps leading up to a first-floor 20th-century half-glazed door with a wooden lintel. Above, there is a two-light leaded metal attic casement with a 20th-century wooden lintel.

Inside, the right-hand 17th-century section has a chamfered spine beam, an open fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel, and evidence of a former stud wall that marked a cross passage to the left, as seen by the mortices in the ceiling beam. The left-hand end of the early 19th-century block was likely a stable with a loft above, which was converted for domestic use around 1930.
