Description
Hacker's House Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the mid-18th century and has had later additions and alterations. It is built of roughly coursed limestone rubble and has a stone slate roof. The cottage features a two-room plan, is two storeys high, and has a gable-lit attic. On the first floor, there are two leaded casement windows with wooden lintels, while the ground floor has a 20th-century casement window with a wooden lintel to the lower right and a six-panel door, with the upper panels glazed, inserted to the lower left. The cottage has integral end stacks with dripstones, although the right stack has been rebuilt in the 20th century.
At the rear, there is a 19th-century single-storey lean-to on the left, which has a 20th-century lean-to attached to the right that is not of special architectural interest. Inside, the ground-floor rooms feature a chamfered spine beam and joists, divided by a stud partition wall. A reused beam in the right room is inscribed with "16 JOHN 17?". There is an infilled inglenook fireplace on the right wall, with plank doors leading to a cellar and a winder staircase to the right.
