Description

This is a late 17th-century terraced cottage, modified in the 19th century. It is built of painted and rendered stone rubble, with an asbestos slate roof, gable ends, and two double-gabled dormers facing the front. A stone rubble chimney stack, likely belonging to the adjacent property, is on the right-hand gable end. The layout is of two rooms and a cross passage, with a larger room on the right and a staircase in a small projection to the rear of the passage. The front is regular, with a two-window arrangement. The ground floor has two 19th-century, two-light casement windows with small glazing bars, and timber lintels with straight cut stops. A partially glazed 20th-century door is positioned to the right of centre. The first floor features two gabled half-dormers, each containing a 19th-century, triangular-headed, two-light casement window with glazing bars. Inside, there are late 18th/19th-century timber screens flanking the passage and chamfered ceiling beams with straight cut stops. The upper floor has not been inspected.
