Bromstone Cottage

Bromstone Cottage is a house that was formerly the residence of a schoolmaster, built in the mid-19th century, possibly incorporating an earlier structure. The main house features plastered rubble walls and exposed brick buttresses at the rear, with a crosswing made of partly plastered cob and 19th-century brickwork. It has rubble stacks topped with 19th-century brick and slate roofs. The main house has a two-room plan with an end stack facing east and a lower service block on the right (north) end, which includes a service crosswing that projects forward. The building is two storeys tall with a cellar.

The main house has a symmetrical two-window front, with 18-pane horned sash windows on the ground floor and 12-pane hornless sash windows on the first floor. The central door features panels of leaded coloured glass from the 19th century and an overlight with glazing bars. A plain four-bay verandah spans the front, built on a floor of large slate flags, supported by plain iron posts with curving braces and topped with a glass monopitch roof. The main roof is gable-ended with a plain wooden eaves cornice.

The service block includes 19th and 20th-century casements with glazing bars, and the gable-ended crosswing has a partly open ground floor. There is a service door next to the main house, and at the right end of the verandah, there is a large slate-lined cistern, which is said to have been used for brining sides of pork. The rear elevation features 12-pane sashes, some with horns, and the ground floor windows are larger than those on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected.
