Description

This pair of cottages, located 150 meters north of Little Larnick, likely dates from the mid to late 18th century, with the right-hand range rebuilt in the mid 19th century. They are constructed of stone rubble, with the left-hand cottage rendered. The right-hand cottage features an asbestos slate roof with gabled ends and large stone rubble chimney stacks at the gables. It also has 19th-century stone rubble shafts with moulded strings and a cloam oven projection on the right gable end. The left-hand cottage has a rag slate roof with a half-hipped left end and a catslide roof that extends over an outshut on the left side. This outshut includes a rendered rear lateral chimney stack.

The cottages have been remodeled to form two separate homes. The right-hand cottage consists of two rooms with a central cross passage and a small dairy at the rear of the left side, with an outshut added to the middle rear. They are two stories tall with an asymmetrical four-window front. The mid-19th-century windows are two-light ovolo-moulded mullions with 20th-century casements. The remodeled right-hand cottage has a symmetrical two-window front, featuring two two-light casements beneath slate hoods, flanking a 20th-century plank door in an open rendered porch with a high gabled roof. Above, there are two two-light casements with brick dressings and timber lintels.

To the left, the asymmetrical one-window range includes a 20th-century plank door within an open porch similar to the right-hand range. There is a two-light casement to the right beneath a slate hood and a two-light window above, placed asymmetrically. The outshut has an additional entrance on the ground floor beneath a 19th-century stone rubble lean-to porch, with a two-light casement above featuring a slate string.

On the rear elevation, there is a straight joint between the remodeled range and the higher end, as well as between the higher range and the outshut. Both ranges have slightly chamfered ceiling beams and a 20th-century chimney piece in the lower gable end. The interior is not accessible, but an internal inspection may provide further details about the layout of these cottages. A stone rubble garden wall is present at the front.
