The Cottage Restaurant

The Cottage Restaurant is a house that has been converted into a restaurant, likely built in the late 17th century to early 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is made of rendered stone rubble and features a scantle slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends. It has two rear lateral stacks with brick shafts, although the front lateral stack has been removed.

The building has a three-room plan, where the two outer rooms are heated by the rear lateral stacks, and the central room was formerly heated by a front lateral stack. All internal partition walls have been removed, making it unclear whether the entrance originally led to a passage or directly into the central room. There is a blocked doorway at the front of the room on the left, which may have once served as separate accommodation. A 20th-century addition has been made at the rear.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front featuring four windows. All windows are 20th-century two-light eight-pane casements, except for the ground floor window on the left, which is a 19th-century two-light eight-pane casement. The windows vary in size, and the second window from the left is a 20th-century glazed door. The right end of the building is blind, while the left end has a 19th-century two-light five-pane casement at ground floor to the left. At the rear, there is a single-storey unheated outshut with an asbestos slate roof and a small single-storey 20th-century addition.

Inside, the ground floor features 19th-century ceiling beams. The first floor has a ceiling, and the roof space is not accessible. The room on the left at ground floor is at a higher floor level, with a blocked door at the front and a 20th-century winder stair to the rear left, which may indicate the original location of the stair. The central room includes a partly blocked fireplace at the front and a central cupboard recess in the rear wall.
