Clare Cottage

Clare Cottage is a pair of cottages that have been converted into one dwelling, dating from around the mid-19th century, with some minor alterations from the late 19th century. The building is constructed from coursed stone rubble with some red-brick detailing and features a gable-ended slate roof with brick chimneys. Originally, the cottages had a one-room plan with integral end stacks and a central axial stack. The conversion to a single cottage likely occurred later in the 19th century, during which the right-hand door was probably blocked. The right-hand cottage appears to be a slightly later addition, indicated by a stepped straight joint.

The exterior is nearly symmetrical with a two-window front. It has boxed 12-pane glazing bar sashes with painted stone cills, and the ground floor windows have brick segmental heads. There is a roughly central 19th-century five-panelled door, which features two beaded flush lower panels and three moulded recessed upper panels, topped with a brick flat-arched head. A blocked doorway can be found on the far right, marked by a straight joint and a former brick segmental arched head. The interior has not been inspected.
