Hardy's Cottage

Hardy's Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the late 17th century, positioned at right angles to the road. It features rubble-stone walls and a thatch roof, which is gabled on the left side and half-hipped on the right. There is a 19th-century brick chimney stack on the left gable and a stone stack on the ridge, slightly left of the center. The cottage has one and a half storeys with a mix of window styles, including three-light casements and two-light casements on the left and right sides at ground level. The iron casements have small diagonally-leaded lights set in wooden frames, and the windows have wooden cills. The upper windows contain opaque quarries of glass. The front door, located to the left of center, is a plank door with weatherboarding in a wooden frame, also from the 19th century. The porch has rounded rubble-stone walls topped with a thatch canopy. Inside, there is an open fireplace in the west room with a high chamfered wood lintel above, and another open fireplace in the east room. The ceiling beams are mid-chamfered and of heavy section.
