Description
Pear Tree Cottage is a detached cottage dating from around 1700. It is built of English bond brick with stone quoins and has a Welsh slate roof, which was formerly thatched, featuring coped verges and gable end brick stacks. The cottage is two stories high with three windows. The central entrance has a ledged and studded door set in a cyma-moulded surround, topped with a flat stone hood supported by brackets. There are three-light cyma-mullioned casements on either side of the door. A moulded string course runs above the lintels, while the first floor features three-light mullioned casements on either side of a two-light mullioned casement above the door.
On the right side, there is a 20th-century fixed window in the attic, and on the left side, there is a 20th-century casement window on the ground floor and in the attic. The rear of the cottage has a late 19th-century two-storey brick wing with sash windows, along with a 20th-century first-floor extension of the earlier wing that has casement windows.
Inside, the cottage features chamfered beams with ogee stops, a blocked open fireplace with a lintel on stone jambs, and planked doors. The parlour includes an 18th-century cupboard with shaped shelves, panelled doors, and a round arch supported by pilasters. The first floor has a reset chip-carved overmantel in the south room, while the north room contains a wall cupboard with turned balusters on the door panels.
