Description
Trescore Cottage is a small house dating from the 18th century. It features painted slatestone rubble and cob walls, with an asbestos slate roof that was originally thatched. The roof has an external stone stack with a brick top located at the south gable end, which also serves as the party wall for Rose Cottage, although that building is not included in this listing. The cottage has a two-room, central stair plan and stands two storeys tall.
The east front has a slightly irregular arrangement of three windows. Nearly at the center is a doorway with a panelled door, which is sheltered by a 20th-century gable-ended latticed porch. On the first floor, there is an early 19th-century, 12-pane, two-light casement window above the doorway, and other first-floor openings. The ground floor features closer spaced early 19th-century, 16-pane, two-light sash windows, all with wooden lintels.
Inside, the cottage is little altered, retaining original floors and a stair situated between ovolo moulded pine muntin and plank partitions. Similar partitions are found between the first-floor rooms. The interior also includes old ledged doors and an original roof structure with pegged, lapped collars. The cottage is included for its group value.
