Pear Tree Cottage

Pear Tree Cottage is a house with a core dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with later additions from the late 19th to early 20th century. It is constructed of whitewashed rendered cob and features a slate roof with a stack at the left gable end. The original structure is one room deep and two rooms wide, likely extended at the rear. The off-centre entrance now leads to the stairs. The right end addition has a hipped roof that is slightly misaligned with the main structure. The cottage is two storeys high and has a three-window range, with a central enclosed gabled porch that has a slate roof. The ground floor windows have been replaced with renewed casements, while the first-floor windows include a renewed casement on the left and a renewed pivot casement on the right. Inside, there is a fireplace at the left gable end with a chamfered granite lintel featuring straight cut stops and a cloam oven. The floor is slate, and the ceiling has roughly-hewn beams, some of which terminate at an axial ceiling beam, while others extend to the rear with late 19th or early 20th-century beams.
