Chilcotts Haun Cottage

Two houses. They date from around the mid-18th century and were extended with the addition of a second house, likely in the late 19th or early 20th century. The houses are constructed of local slate-stone rubble. The roofs are rag slate, some cement-washed, with gable ends. One section of the roof is bitumen-coated with hipped ends, and a further section has a hip roof. There is a brick stack on the left-hand gable end, a stone rubble stack on the right-hand gable end, and a rendered axial stack to the rear wing on the right.

The houses likely originally comprised two rooms, with the entrance originally located to the right of the centre. An extension was added around the early 19th century, including a single-storey lean-to projecting from the front elevation and a low, two-storey extension of one-room plan on the left-hand gable end. Further extensions to the rear of the left-hand extension created the second house, which was built around the late 19th or early 20th century. The original two rooms were heated by a central axial stack. The overall plan is ‘L’ shaped.

The front elevation has an asymmetrical two-window arrangement, with a single-storey lean-to projecting across the front. The lean-to has a four-pane casement window, a plank door, and a 20th-century window to the right, all topped with gabled half-dormer roofs. The first floor has two 2-light casement windows with glazing bars. To the left stands a two-storey extension. The rear wing on the left has two PVC windows on the ground floor and two similar windows in gabled half-dormers on the first floor. The rear elevation of this wing retains some original casement windows. The interior has not been inspected.
