Cottage West Of Gunheath Farmhouse (Farmhouse Not Included)

This building is a clay worker's or miner's cottage, likely dating from the early 19th century, as it is shown on the 1842 tithe map. It is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings, and the front is rendered. The roof is made of rag slate, and there is a rubble and dressed granite stack at the left-hand end. The cottage has a one-room plan, with a 20th-century lean-to porch at the front and another 20th-century lean-to on the right side. It stands two storeys high and features a low front with one window range. The first floor has a late 19th-century four-pane sash window, while there is a four-pane window below it. A ledged door leads to the porch. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey. This cottage is a rare surviving example of a small industrial worker's dwelling.
