Description

Old Forge Cottage is a Grade II listed building located on the north side of Greenhill. It dates from the 18th to 19th century, with the possibility of an earlier core. The cottage is two storeys high and features a two-window facade that is cement rendered. It has three-light casement windows, some of which include lead glazing. The roof is covered with plaintiles and has stone slate eaves. The central doorway is topped with a hood supported by console brackets and features a battened door with rail heads.

This building is part of a group of listed buildings on the north side of Greenhill, extending from Newell Cottage to Belmont, and on the south side from Delta to the premises occupied by Godden and Curtis.
