Description
Hendra Cottage and Mabel's Cottage are a pair of cottages that may have originally been one house, with a datestone inscribed "NME 1718" on the stone chimney. The cottages feature granite rubble walls with granite moorstone dressings. Hendra Cottage has a grouted scantle slate roof that slopes lower at the rear, adorned with 18th-century crested clay ridge tiles and a cast-iron ogee-section gutter. The roof of Mabel's Cottage has been replaced with asbestos slate. An external stone stack with a brick chimney is located over the right-hand gable end.
The current layout likely reflects a 19th-century remodelling and extension of the original design. Each cottage has a double depth plan with a large room at the front and entrances towards the middle. Service rooms are located in the older rear outshut behind Hendra Cottage and in a 20th-century remodelled former outshut behind Mabel's Cottage.
The exterior is two storeys high with a fairly regular four-window north front and two doorways towards the middle. Hendra Cottage features a 20th-century door and mid-19th-century 12-pane hornless sash windows, which remain unspoiled at the rear. Mabel's Cottage has a wide opening with an adjoining doorway and window, both with a 20th-century door and 12-pane sashes. The chimney is inscribed on its right-hand gable side. The interiors have not been inspected.
