Description

Wormsland Cottage is a house that may date from the 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble and cob, featuring a steeply pitched roof with gable ends. The original thatched roof was replaced with corrugated iron around the 1930s. The house has brick shafts for the end stacks.

The layout consists of two rooms with a cross or through passage plan, heated by the end stacks, and the ground slopes down to the left. Until the 1930s, the house was divided into two one-room cottages, each heated by end stacks and sharing a central staircase. It is unclear if this was the original layout.

The exterior is two storeys high with a roughly symmetrical three-window front and a centrally located entrance. The door, which dates from the 19th or early 20th century, is flanked by two 19th or 20th-century two-light casements on either side. There are three likely 19th-century two-light casements on the first floor. Additionally, there is an early 20th-century lean-to porch extension on the front left. The interior has not been inspected.
