Description
Church Park Cottage is a cottage dating from around the mid-17th century, with a 20th-century addition. It has rendered stone rubble walls that may include some cob and a gable-ended slate roof. There is a rendered rubble stack with a brick shaft at the left gable end and a brick axial stack.
Originally, the cottage had a two-room plan, with the larger left-hand room likely heated by a fireplace on its end wall, and a newel stair located behind it. The right-hand end features a one-room 20th-century addition.
The cottage is two storeys high and has a regular two-window front, with three windows on the ground floor. The windows are 20th-century two-light casements, and the first-floor windows are set in a gabled early 20th-century doorhood supported by wooden struts. The right-hand end of the house is the 20th-century addition. A stone drip course is located above the window on the ground floor of the left-hand gable end. There is an oven projection to the stack behind, which has a small stair light.
Interior access is very limited, but an 18th-century two-panel door was observed. Other features such as the original fireplace, beams, and newel stairs may also be present, although they might have undergone early 20th-century modernization.
