Calverleigh Cottage

Calverleigh Cottage is a house with origins dating back to the 17th century or earlier, with a 19th-century extension. The exterior is colourwashed and rendered, likely made of stone rubble, and features a slate roof that is gabled at both ends. The 19th-century addition has end stacks, while the earlier section has a massive stack that has been replaced by a metal pipe.

The layout includes a symmetrical plan for the 19th-century block on the left, which has two main rooms on either side of a passage that contains the stair. There is a short rear wing that is gabled and a lean-to at the back that houses service rooms, a stair, and an axial passage connecting to the earlier part of the house on the right. The older section consists of two rooms, with the left room heated and subdivided into smaller spaces on the ground floor.

The building stands two storeys with an attic on the left and two storeys on the right. The 19th-century block has a three-bay front featuring a central panelled front door with a rectangular fanlight and a flat porch canopy supported by moulded brackets. Tall two-light casements are located on either side of the front door, while the first floor has timber sash windows with glazing bars. The attic includes two gabled full dormers. The adjoining block has a four-window front with a lower roofline and a centrally placed front door, featuring timber casements with glazing bars.

Inside, the older part of the house showcases jointed cruck construction, preserving one jointed cruck truss over the left room, although the apex was inaccessible during the survey. There is a framed partition above an incomplete section of a plank and muntin screen between the two rooms. The right room has a chamfered axial beam, while the left room features a chamfered scroll-stopped cross beam. A massive fireplace is partly blocked, but an early lintel and jambs may still be present. The 19th-century block includes contemporary chimneypieces and iron grates on the first floor, and there are 18th-century two-panel doors that may have been reused or could date from an earlier phase of the extension.
