Description

The Forge and attached barn are an early 18th-century cottage with later additions and alterations. The cottage is constructed from roughly coursed limestone rubble, with a slate roof. It is two storeys high, and originally had a two-window front. It features three-light chamfered mullion windows, with dripstones over the ground-floor windows. A boarded door is located on the far left. An integral end stack has been rebuilt in the 20th century, and a prominent ridge stack, also with 20th-century reconstruction, sits to the right of centre. A late 20th-century addition to the right connects the cottage to a low, formerly detached outbuilding. This addition has a half-glazed boarded door to the left and a three-light 20th-century casement with a wood lintel to the right.

To the left of the cottage is a regularly coursed rubblestone barn, linked to the cottage by a low range with a pantile roof and two 20th-century casements. The barn is L-shaped, with a corrugated iron roof, various infilled openings, and 20th-century casements to the gable end facing the road.

Inside the barn, the range flanking the road features a raised cruck truss, likely dating from the 15th or 16th century. The range at right angles to the road has an 18th-century collar truss roof in three bays, with double butt-purlins.
