Fushia Cottage

Fuschia Cottage is a small house that dates back to the 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th century and an extension added in the 19th century. The building features plastered stone rubble walls and a slate roof, which has a gabled end on the right and a hipped end on the left. There is a plastered rubble stack at the gable end. The layout consists of a two-room plan with a solid wall separating the rooms. The right-hand room was likely originally open to the roof and heated by an open hearth fire. This room was later floored over, and a fireplace was added in the early to mid-17th century. A rear outshut was built in the 19th century, along with an outbuilding added to the left-hand end.

The exterior of the cottage is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with four windows, featuring 20th-century one and two-light casements. There is a shallow 20th-century lean-to in the centre with a part-glazed door to the right, and a 20th-century door to the left end, which has a small outbuilding projecting beyond it. Inside, the right-hand room has rough but fairly substantial ceiling beams, and the fireplace includes a possible 17th-century rough slate lintel. Above this end of the house, there are two original raised cruck trusses with morticed cranked collars and trenched purlins, which have been cut off at the apex. Both trusses appear to be smoke-blackened, with the right-hand one showing more significant blackening.
