Squires Cottage

Squires Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century, with some alterations made in the late 20th century. The building features uncoursed stone rubble on the ground floor and rendered cob on the first floor, topped by a gable-ended roof covered with machine-made tiles from the 20th century. There is a stone stack with a brick top dating from around 1900.

The cottage has a two-room plan, with a larger principal room on the left that includes an external end stack, and a smaller unheated room on the right. The entrance is centrally located. The exterior presents a roughly symmetrical façade, featuring three 20th-century two-light small-paned wooden casements on the first floor, with 2-light glazed gablets above them. The ground floor has two 19th-century two-light wooden casements. The front door is a 20th-century half-glazed door set beneath a gabled bracketed porch.

Inside, the left-hand ground-floor room includes a chamfered half beam and a fireplace with dressed sandstone jambs and a chamfered wooden lintel that has straight stops. There is a probable blocked doorway to the left of the fireplace. The front door features a 17th-century internal chamfered wooden lintel with convex run-out stops, and there is a stud partition wall separating the two rooms.
