House Attached On North East Of Burrow Cott

This is a house attached to the northeast of Burrow Cottage, with origins dating back to the late 16th century. It was extended in the 18th and 19th centuries. The structure is made of stone rubble and cob, topped with a rag slate roof featuring gable ends and brick end stacks. The plan of the house is complicated, and the original layout is uncertain since the interior was not accessible during the inspection in 1987. It may consist of a two-room and through passage plan, heated by an end stack, with a one-room plan wing added to the front entrance in the late 16th or early 17th century. A wing with a two-room plan was likely added to the rear of the right-hand room in the 18th century, possibly at the same time the rear door was blocked.

The house has two storeys. The front gabled wing features a brick end stack, a 19th-century two-light casement window on the ground floor, and a 19th-century two-light horizontal sliding sash window on the first floor. To the left, the main range has a three-light casement window on the ground floor and a 19th-century two-light horizontal sliding sash window on the first floor. The entrance, located on the left side of the front wing, has a 19th-century panelled door.

Although the interior was not accessible, there seem to be remains of a corbelled lintel above the ground floor fireplace in the front wing, which has been partly blocked and appears to date from the late 16th or early 17th century. The ceiling beams seem to have been replaced in the late 19th century. The house is currently empty and in a derelict state, and a full internal inspection should be conducted before any work is carried out.
