Description
Roscarrack Farm Cottage, also known as Simpson, is a small house that was likely built in the 18th century and later remodeled in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The structure features painted rubble and cob walls, with an asbestos slate roof that was originally thatched. It has a rubble stack over the left-hand gable end and a late 19th or early 20th-century external granite stack with a brick chimney at the right-hand gable end.
The original layout consisted of a small two-room plan house, with a later lean-to added at the rear. The left side likely served as the kitchen and living room, while the right side was the parlour. It was later remodeled into two cottages, with each room functioning as a kitchen or living room, but it is now a single house.
The cottage is two storeys tall and has a slightly asymmetrical two-window front with a pair of doorways in the middle, which are framed by a Gothic style porch featuring scalloped barge boards on its gable ends. The left-hand doorway has an old ledged door, while the other has a 20th-century glazed door. The original window openings are spanned by hardwood lintels, with either original or early 19th-century horizontal-sliding sashes; the left-hand window has six and nine-pane lights, while the other has a pair of six-pane lights. The first-floor windows are later triangular-headed Gothic style dormered casements, featuring small panes and traceried heads set in steeply-pitched gables above the eaves. The interior has not been inspected.
