Bradbury Cottages

Bradbury Cottages is a former farmhouse from the 17th century that has since been divided into two separate homes. The building features whitewashed rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a hipped slate roof at the left end. It has brick chimney stacks: one at the front lateral hall stack and another at the front right corner for the inner room, with a lateral rear stone rubble stack heating the lower end.

The layout consists of a three-room and cross-passage plan, with the lower end to the left. The original design has remained largely unchanged despite the division into two homes, although a direct entry has been made into the hall next to the cross-passage, and the internal doorway between the hall and cross-passage has been infilled. A solid wall partition between the hall and inner room suggests that the inner room may be an addition, but there is no access to the roof space.

The building is two storeys high and has a four-window range with irregular 20th-century fenestration. There is a slate lean-to roof over a double porch, and the doors are made of planks, with the left side being half-glazed. At the rear of each cottage, there are 19th-century stone rubble and brick outshuts with slate roofs.

Inside, the hall features a boxed-in cross ceiling beam and a 19th-century bench at the upper end. A 20th-century grate may cover the original fireplace in the hall. The doorway between the hall and inner room has partially cased-in chamfered durns and a raised and fielded two-panel door. The inner room contains an axial hollow step-stopped chamfered ceiling beam, and a 20th-century grate in the fireplace may conceal an earlier one. A winder staircase is located in the rear left corner, and there is a cyma reversa moulded plaster cornice in the chamber above the hall, mostly hidden by wallpaper. The roof and lower end have not been inspected.
