Well Cottage

Well Cottage is a house that appears to have been converted from two cottages, dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is built of painted stone rubble and features a slate roof with gable ends. The house has large projecting stone rubble stacks at each gable end. Originally designed with a two-room and cross passage plan, the layout has been altered to remove the cross passage, and it has been converted back into a two-room house with the entrance moved to a 20th-century porch extension on the left-hand gable end.

The building is two storeys high with a regular front featuring two windows. On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century two-light casements without glazing bars. A slate roof canopy at the center, which was formerly for two doorways, has had the right-hand doorway replaced with a small 20th-century window. There is a timber and glazed 20th-century door on the left side. Above, there are two more 20th-century two-light casements without glazing bars, all set in small openings that are likely original.

The 20th-century porch extension is set back on the left-hand gable end and is rendered with a sloping slate roof. Inside, the ceiling beams in the right-hand room are retained, slightly chamfered and unstopped. A 19th-century photograph of Well Cottage can be found in M. French's "A Victorian Village," which is a record of the Parish of Quethiock in Cornwall from 1977.
