Description

Voss is a house dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of rendered and painted stone rubble with a rag slate roof, which is covered in bitumen on the front slope. The house features a gable end on the left and a half-hipped end on the right. There is a rendered and painted projecting stone rubble chimney stack with a tapered cap and a cloam oven projection on the left-hand gable end. The roof may have at least one early crested ridge tile.

The layout consists of a two-room plan with a through passage, where the larger room on the left serves as the kitchen and the unheated parlour is on the right. The house has been extended to the rear, adding service rooms and a 19th-century stair in an outshut beneath a catslide roof. It stands two storeys tall and has an asymmetrical two-window front. On the ground floor, there are two 19th-century two-light casements with glazing bars and a partly glazed 20th-century door near the centre, which is topped by a slate hood. Above, there is a 19th-century two-light casement on the left and a single light casement with glazing bars on the right.

Inside, the lintel above the fireplace has been renewed, and the partitions of the through passage have been removed to create a single large room, with the 19th-century stair located in the outshut at the rear. The roof timbers have not been inspected. Voss is an interesting example of an early 18th-century two-room plan house.
