North Star Cottage

North Star Cottage is a cottage, possibly originally two cottages, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century. It features plastered walls, likely made of cob on stone rubble footings, with stone rubble or brick stacks topped with 19th and 20th-century brick. The roof is thatched, with pantile and corrugated iron covering the rear service wing, and slate on the outshot. The cottage has a two-room plan and faces southeast, with each room having a gable end stack, the left one projecting. It is possible that the building was once a pair of one-room plan cottages. There is a secondary outshot on the left end and a rear service block that projects at right angles behind the right end, which has been converted from agricultural buildings. The cottage is two storeys high and has a two-window front with 20th-century casements featuring glazing bars. The arrangement would be symmetrical if there were a pair of central doors, but currently, there is a doorway just right of centre containing a 20th-century stable-type door, and to the left of centre is an additional upright fixed pane window. The roof is gable-ended. The interior was not available for inspection at the time of the survey.
