Description
Pear Tree Cottage, previously known as Rodden Cottage, is an early 19th-century cottage incorporating earlier fabric. It is constructed of limestone rubble, faced in rendered brickwork, and has a 20th-century tiled roof. The cottage is two storeys high and has two unequal bays: the left bay contains a living room with a gable stack, and the right bay contains service rooms to the right of the entrance. The front door has six panels, with bead moulding to the lower panels, fielded centre panels, and glazed upper lights, and features a triangular canopy supported by cut brackets. There are sixteen-paned sash windows with moulded beads around the frames. A brick stack was added to the facade on the right side. The gables are tiled and slate hung; the left gable includes fragmentary timber framing. A single-storey wing extends to the rear, also with a tiled roof. The interior reveals a raking queen strut roof with clasped purlins and curved wind braces. Some of the timbers in the south bay are smoke blackened.
