Description

Church Cottage is a cottage that may have originally served as a church house, dating from around the 17th century. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble and features a slate roof with gabled ends. The building has a plan consisting of two rooms and a cross-passage, and it is one and a half storeys tall.

The front has a range of three windows, with 19th and 20th century casements on the ground floor. The right-hand window has a lintel with mason's mitres designed to support missing mullions. There is a similar window at the rear of the cottage. To the left of the center, there is a 20th century door. The first floor has three small sash windows set into the eaves, each with raking slate roofs and slate checks. Large rendered chimney stacks are located at both gable ends.

At the left-hand, higher end of the building, there is a 20th century single-storey extension with a flat roof. Inside, the layout consists of two rooms and a central cross passage. The interior features chamfered floor beams, one of which has step stops at the upper end. There is a fireplace at the upper end with chamfered granite jambs and a square-section wooden lintel. The roof structure includes three pairs of principals, which are chamfered in the attic room and have curved feet.
