Lampretten Cottages

Lampretten Cottages are a pair of attached houses dating from 1844, with few later alterations. They are constructed of stone rubble, rendered, and slate-hung, featuring a slurried slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends, and gable end stacks with shaped tops. Each house has a one-room plan, with each room heated by a gable end stack. There is a porch for each house that leads directly into the room, with a stair located at the rear of the room. This design is a rare survival as it has no integral outshut.

No 1, on the right, has a 20th-century addition at the rear, while No 2 is on the left. Both houses are two storeys high and feature a symmetrical two-window range. No 1 has two 2-light casements with 8 panes each and L hinges on the first floor. The ground floor includes a central 19th-century conservatory porch with an inner half-glazed door, a 2-light 3-pane casement to the left, and a 2-light 2-pane casement from the 20th century to the right. The upper level is slate-hung and painted.

No 2 also has two 2-light casements with 8 panes each on the first floor. The ground floor features a central 19th-century conservatory porch with margin glazing, bargeboards, and a finial at the gable end, along with a half-glazed outer door with margin glazed lights, and 2-light casements on both sides, which are 20th-century replacements. The ground floor is rendered, while the upper level is slate-hung, and there is a datestone at the first floor. The left side of No 2 is blind, and the rear of No 1 has a 20th-century addition.

Inside No 2, the fireplace at the gable end has plain granite jambs and a timber lintel, with a cloam oven located to the rear right of the fireplace. There is a winder stair at the rear right of the room. The room has been partitioned in the 20th century to create a small room on the right.
