Description
Rock Cottage is a cottage from the 17th century or earlier, constructed from rendered cob and stone with a slate roof. It features a small brick stack at the left end and a tall front lateral hall stack with a tapered cap. The layout includes a hall and through-passage plan, with the lower end possibly demolished when the adjacent house to the left was built. There is a 20th-century extension at the rear. The cottage is two storeys high and has a two-window range. The windows are 19th or 20th-century 2-light casements, with six panes per light above a six-paned fixed light at the left end, and another 2-light casement with six panes per light to the right of the stack. A plank stable door leads to the through-passage doorway at the left end. The interior has not been inspected.
