Reading Room Cottage

Reading Room Cottage is a pair of cottages, now functioning as a house, with origins dating back to the 17th century. The building is constructed of rubble stone and features stone tiled roofs, rising to one-and-a-half and two storeys.

The left side cottage is two storeys high and has a single window range with a coped north gable. It includes one two-light ovolo-moulded mullion window on the first floor, a 20th-century single light ovolo-moulded window on the ground floor, and a plain doorcase with a 19th-century studded door. There is a low buttress on the left side.

The right side cottage is one storey with an attic and has a stack at the south end. It features a dormer gable with a three-light ovolo-moulded renewed oak mullion window above, along with one original and one 20th-century ovolo-moulded two-light stone-mullion window, both with hoodmoulds. The north end wall has a two-light chamfered flush stone-mullion window on the ground floor and a two-light bead-moulded upper window, also with a hoodmould. The windows throughout the building are fitted with leaded lights.
