Description
Pember Cottage, formerly known as Grove House, is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates back to the early 17th century and features later additions and alterations. The building is constructed from uncoursed limestone rubble with alternating angle quoins and has a stone slate roof. It is designed in an L-plan with the entrance located in the angle at the rear. The cottage has two storeys and a gable-lit attic.
On each floor, there are two chamfered mullion windows with dripstones, all of which are two-light except for one three-light window on the lower right. The right gable end has small windows that light the staircase and features an integral end stack with dripstones and a red brick top. The rear of the building includes a three-light mullion window directly below the eaves and a four-light window on the ground floor of the main range. There is also a gabled dormer in the roof slope that contains a three-light late 20th-century metal casement window.
The projecting gable has a two-light mullion window on the first floor and a three-light window on the ground floor, both with dripstones. There is a small infilled window in the attic and an integral end stack with a dripstone and red brick shaft. A lean-to porch with a plank door is situated in the angle between the two ranges.
Inside, the right ground-floor room features a chamfered spine beam, flat joists, an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered wood lintel, and a bread oven. A stone winder staircase leads to the front, and the floor is made of stone flags. The left room is divided into two by a timber-framed spine wall and has a corner fireplace in the projecting gable. The first floor has wide floorboards and a chamfered spine beam in the right room. A late 20th-century wooden winder staircase leads to the attic, which is said to replace an original wooden staircase. The roof has staggered double purlins with a central collar truss and principal rafters that rise from the tops of the walls.
