Blacksmiths Shop And Cottage

The Blacksmiths Shop and Cottage is an early to mid 19th century building located in Probus. It is constructed from shale rubble with granite dressings, featuring a scantle slate roof and brick chimneys. The structure consists of a one-room smithy shop and a double-depth cottage.

The smithy shop, situated at the upper end to the left, is a single storey and has a wide doorway with a monolithic granite jamb on the left and granite jambstones on the right, topped with a wooden lintel. It has double doors with a stable door to the left, and the only window is a two-light casement with small panes set in a slightly arched opening, also with granite jambstones and voussoirs. A brick chimney is positioned over the ridge to the right.

The two-storey cottage shares the same roof and curves back to follow the line of the road. It has a door to the left and a wide window to the right, which features a 20th-century three-light casement in an opening similar to that of the shop window. On the first floor, a 12-pane sash window is centrally placed above the ground floor window. The roof of the cottage adjoins the gables of the adjacent buildings.
