Lerryn Yonder Cot Yonder Cot, Lerryn

The property comprises a cottage, originally two cottages and coopers’ workshops, dating to the mid-18th century with an addition from around 1860. The construction is of rubble stone and cob, whitewashed, with an asbestos slate roof featuring gabled ends. A brick stack is located near the centre of the building, and another on the left-hand gable end. The original layout included two rooms with a cross passage, later extended with a store built onto the right-hand gable end. A two-room cottage was originally sited slightly set back on the left-hand gable, with a subsequent extension to the rear in the mid-19th century, creating a double-pile plan. The rear of the property was used as coopers’ workshops. The front has a two-window facade to each build. The right-hand side presents an asymmetrical frontage, with a two-light casement with glazing bars on the left ground floor and a 16-pane fixed casement on the right, alongside a timber stable door. Above, there are two centre-hung two-light casements from the 19th century, featuring glazing bars. All windows are under timber lintels. The left-hand side has a regular two-window front with a 19th-century timber sash window with eight panes per sash to the left of a panelled door with a slate hood. Above, there are two sash windows, each with eight panes, without horns. Exposed sash boxes are present. The eaves are slightly lower on this portion of the cottage. Inside the right-hand room of the earlier cottage are stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. On the left-hand gable end of the earlier cottage, above the interior door, there is decorated plasterwork to the lintel bearing the date 1680, along with a heart and initials, representing a traditional celebratory detail for newly married couples. The roof timbers are inaccessible.
