Description
The Cottage, which includes railings at the front, is a house that was converted from a cottage, dating from around the late 18th century, with the cottage section added in the early 19th century. It is constructed from slate stone rubble and features a slate roof with gable ends. There are projecting stone rubble stacks on the gable ends, with brick shafts, and a brick axial stack located to the left of the center.
The house on the right has a two-room plan with a central entrance leading to a wide cross passage that contains an imperial stair at the back. The two rooms are heated by an axial stack on the left and a gable end stack on the right. The cottage, added to the left gable end, has a one-room plan and is heated by a gable end stack, with the entrance leading directly into the ground floor room.
The building is two storeys high and has a regular three-window front. The ground floor features a 19th-century two-light casement window on the left, a 19th-century six-panel door, and two 12-pane sash windows flanking the entrance to the house on the right, which also has a 19th-century six-panel door and a 20th-century part-glazed porch. On the first floor, there is a 19th-century two-light casement window in the cottage to the left, and three 12-pane sash windows above the ground floor openings on the right.
Inside, there is a wide passage with an imperial stair at the rear and four-panel doors with raised and fielded panels leading into the right-hand and central rooms. The right-hand room features a late 18th-century timber chimney-piece with a dentilled cornice and fluted pilasters, and it is lit by a canted bay window. The central room has a late 18th-century chimney-piece and an adjoining china cupboard with three glazed doors that have honeycomb glazing bars. The left-hand room contains a 19th-century timber chimney-piece with corbelled brackets and a slate flag floor. Additionally, cast iron railings enclose the garden at the front.
