Description

Farrow Cottage is a cottage likely built in the 18th century, with modernizations made in the 19th and 20th centuries, including a service extension. The structure is made of plastered cob or stone rubble, with a stone rubble or brick stack, and a thatched roof, while the service extension has a concrete tile roof. The cottage has a two-room plan that has been combined into one space and faces north-west. A large projecting front lateral stack is located to the left of the center. There is a 20th-century single-storey service wing that extends at a right angle to the rear of the right (south-western) end. The main house is two storeys high and features a single window front with 19th-century casements that have glazing bars, positioned to the right of the large disused stack, which has slate weatherings. The tall gable-ended roof has a section that extends over the top of the stack. The main entrance is on the left end, featuring a late 19th-century six-panel door set behind a 20th-century gabled porch with a tiled roof. This end of the cottage also includes horned twelve-pane sashes. The interior has not been inspected.
