Carlane Cottage

Carlane Cottage is a small house dating from the early 18th century. It was divided into cottages and extended in the 19th century, before being reunited as a single dwelling in the 20th century. The building is constructed of roughcast stone rubble and features a thatched roof with gabled ends, while the left extension has a slightly lower hipped roof. The gable end stacks are rendered with short shafts and slate weathering, and the right-hand stack has slate weathered set-offs. There is also a lateral stack at the rear of the left extension with a red brick shaft.

The original layout was likely a two-room plan with a central entrance and gable end stacks. In the 19th century, it was converted into two cottages, with a third one-room plan cottage added to the left end, which includes a lateral stack at the back. In the 20th century, the house was restored to a single dwelling, and the partitions in the original part were removed to create one large room.

The exterior is two storeys high with a south front that has a 1:3 window arrangement. All windows are 20th-century two-light casements with glazing bars and slate sills. The doorway is located to the right of centre and features a 20th-century glazed door. There is a single-storey outshut at right angles to the left of the front and a small single-storey extension on the right end. The rear elevation faces the road and has only two small 20th-century casements, making it largely blind.

Inside, the ground floor of the original house is now one large room with a fireplace at each end, featuring slate rubble jambs and renewed timber lintels. The left-hand room has a lateral fireplace with a high timber lintel. On the first floor, there are four old plank doors with wrought-iron hinges, and the original elm roof timbers are visible, with halved, lapped, and pegged collars to the straight principals.
