Description
The Old Foundry is a detached cottage dating from 1706, as indicated by the datestone FN/1706 above the door. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a tiled roof and features gable-end brick stacks. The building is two stories tall and has a two-window front. The central entrance consists of a half-glazed door set in a cyma-moulded case, flanked by two-light casements. A continuous string course runs above the door. On the first floor, there are two 16-pane sash windows. To the left, there is a 19th-century extension that includes French windows on the ground floor and 4-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors. The right side of the building displays limestone and flint bands, with a 20th-century casement window in the attic. The interior was not accessible during the survey conducted in April 1985.
