Description
Martins Cottage is a house with a former shop attached to the rear, dating from the mid-19th century, with a shop addition from the later 19th century and a few later alterations. The building is constructed of slatestone rubble, with some slate-hung sections, and features a slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends. It has gable end stacks with rubble shafts.
The house has a two-room plan with a central entrance, and each room is heated from a gable end stack. To the left, there is a single-storey addition, while at the rear, a two-storey one-room plan addition was made to the centre, which serves as the shop entrance on the left side.
The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical two-window front, where the upper level is slate-hung. On both the ground and first floors, there are 19th-century 16-pane sash windows with dripstones above the ground floor windows. The central porch is open-fronted with a pitched roof and features an inner half-glazed margin-glazed door. The single-storey addition to the left has a three-light casement window and a plain door, along with a gable end stack to the left. The left side of the house has an external rubble stack. At the rear, the main house includes a two-light casement window on both the ground and first floors to the right, while the rear of the single-storey addition has a two-light casement. The two-storey rear wing features a door with cover strips and a pitched hood, which is continuous with the hood over the door of Well Cottage. There is a large six-pane light on the ground floor to the right for the shop, and a two-light casement on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected.
