Description

Blenheim Cottage and Blenheim Farmhouse are a house that was later divided into three cottages, and is now a house and cottage again. They date from the late 18th century and are built from coursed squared rubble with ashlar quoins and timber lintels, topped by a slate roof. The building has three storeys and features a four-window range. Blenheim Farmhouse, located on the right, has a central door with a flat hood supported by consoles. The windows are iron-framed casements with rectangular leaded lights, including some made of crown glass. Blenheim Cottage, which is a single bay to the left, has a door on the left side and renewed windows. There are two chimneys at the gable ends and one ridge stack. Inside Blenheim Farmhouse, there is a simple rubble stone fireplace with a cambered arch in the right ground-floor room, and rough timber girders on the ground and first floors. To the left, there is a later lean-to extension with a concrete tile roof and a 20th-century flat-roofed garage.
