Description
Hartland Cottage is a house built around the 1820s, with an extension added to the rear in the 1830s. It is constructed from slate-stone rubble with brick dressings around the openings and features a slate roof with gable ends, including one at the rear. A 20th-century brick chimney stack is located on the right-hand gable end.
Originally designed with a one-room plan and an entrance passage on the left, the cottage was extended to create a two-room, double-depth layout with a staircase at the back of the entrance hall. The building has two storeys and a basement, presenting a regular two-window front with brick segmental arches over the openings and 12-pane sash windows that were renewed in the 1970s. To the left, there is a part-glazed 19th-century six-panel door. The rear elevation has three storeys, with the ground floor featuring an early 19th-century 12-pane hornless sash window and crown glass.
Inside, the entrance hall showcases an early 19th-century moulded cornice, a plaster ceiling, a hall arch, and a slate flag floor. The rear room on the right also has an early 19th-century moulded cornice. A wide opening was inserted in the thick wall between the front and rear rooms during the 1970s. The early 19th-century dog-leg staircase leads to the upper floors. The roof structure of the front range includes principals and collars that are partly halved, lap-jointed, and oak pegged, while the roof structure of the rear range is bolted.
