Tattle Tale Cottage

Tattle Tale Cottage is a house in a row, dating from the 18th century. It features painted rubble and cob walls, with a grouted scantle slate roof that has gable ends adjoining party walls. There is a rubble stack over the left-hand end and a brick stack shared with Alpha Cottage over the right-hand end. The original plan includes two rooms at the front: a wider kitchen/living room on the left and a parlour on the right, flanking a cross passage that leads to a stair behind the right-hand room and an outshut with service rooms behind the middle and left of the house. The cottage is two storeys high, with eaves that were heightened around the late 19th century. The nearly symmetrical west front has two windows and a doorway slightly to the right of the middle, featuring a 20th-century door and late 19th-century four-pane horned sashes.
