Merrifield'S Cottage

Merrifield's Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 18th century. It features painted rubble and cob walls, slate sills, and wooden lintels. The steep roof is made of corrugated iron with gable ends, and there are brick chimneys, including one over an external rubble stack on the left side. The cottage has two storeys and presents one window on the south-east front, with a lean-to extension on the right. The windows are positioned towards the left, while the doorway is located on the right side of the original front. The first-floor window, which is partly above the ground window, is very small and has a 4-pane horned sash. The ground floor window openings are larger and contain 20th-century windows. There is an old 4-panel door. The interior has not been inspected. This cottage is a rare example of a detached single-cell plan house that has not been extended since the 19th century. It has a one-room plan heated from a stack on the left gable end, with the doorway at the right end of the front. Additionally, there is a single-storey lean-to extension at the right end, likely serving as a scullery.
