Barley Stack Cottage

Barley Stack Cottage is a 18th-century cottage constructed of rendered stone and cob, featuring a thatched roof that is half-hipped. The cottage has a brick stack at the left end and a stone rubble stack at the right end, which has a tapered cap and is heightened in brick. It may have originally had a two-room and cross-passage layout, but the partition has been removed, allowing direct entry into the right-hand room, which contains a staircase in the rear right corner. The cottage is two storeys high and has a two-window range, with 19th-century two-light casements, each consisting of six panes per light on both floors. There is a lean-to slate roof porch with a plank inner door. Lean-tos are present at each end; the right side has a coal shed with a slate roof, while the left side has a lean-to with a tiled roof. The interior features late 18th-century to early 19th-century joinery that is largely intact, including a boxed-in beam in the right-hand room. The cottage was formerly known as Higher Huish.
