4/128 Pheasant Cottage -

GV II

Probably an estate account (count) house, but also the home of a gardener or gamekeeper for the Clowance estate. Circa mid C19. Killas and granite rubble walk with dressed granite quoins, jambstones, sills and lintels. Slurried scantle slate roof with brick chimneys over the gable ends. Small square plan: ground floor at basement level has kitchen/living room probably originally subdivided; the first floor with 2 tall windows on the north side probably originally one room and used as an office. Single storey C20 extension at the rear obscures the original doorway position. 2 storeys (the ground floor virtually a basement). Symmetrical 2 window north front, 2 squat ground floor window openings with 8 pane horizontal sliding sashes and 2 tall window openings over with 8-pane horned sashes. Interior not inspected. One of a group of buildings associated with Clowance Farm and the kitchen gardens of the Clowance estate, all set within mature wooded surroundings. This house is a curious design and clearly had a specific purpose relating to the estate.
