Description
Summermoor Cottage and Summermoor is a tenement farmhouse, originally a single dwelling that has now been divided into two separate occupancies. The building incorporates elements from the 16th and 17th centuries, with significant rebuilding and extension likely occurring in the late 18th or early 19th century. It is constructed from rendered stone and cob, and has a thatched roof with gable ends. A brick stack stands to the rear, alongside a brick stack at the gable end of the earlier range.
The building is arranged in an L-shape, with an earlier range forming a rear wing to a more symmetrical two-room cottage. It is two storeys high and has a three-window front. A thatched porch provides a front entrance. Some original 18th or 19th-century windows remain in the rear wing. The front facade features two two-light casement windows above a pair of plank doors, a two-light casement window with eight panes per light, and a partially boarded-over three-light casement with small leaded panes. A buttress is present at the left end. A small lean-to structure with a corrugated asbestos roof adjoins the left end of the building. The rear elevation includes a two-light casement window with eight panes per light to the left, and a two-light casement over another two light casement window, eight panes per light to the right side.
The interior of the building has not been inspected.
