Peep O' Day And Rock Cottage

Peep O' Day and Rock Cottage is a pair of houses dating from the early 17th century, with additions from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The buildings have rendered stone rubble walls and feature a hipped thatch roof, along with a gabled slate roof on the front addition. There are two brick axial stacks and one small rubble axial stack.

Originally, the houses followed a three-room-and-through-passage plan, with the lower end located to the right. The lower room contains a fireplace on the end wall and newel stairs behind it. In front of this room is an 18th-century wing, which has a 19th-century extension. The house underwent significant remodelling in the early 20th century, transforming the passage into a stair hall, with the hall now featuring a fireplace at its higher end. An early 20th-century room was also added at the end of the lower room. Currently, the property is divided into two houses at the lower end of the passage.

The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical two-window front, with a wing projecting from the right-hand end in two stages, the end part covered by a slate roof. The first floor features early 20th-century two and four-light casement windows. On the ground floor, there are two early 19th-century tripartite 20-pane sash windows, with French windows to their left. To the right, the thatch extends in a catslide to create an open porch over a 20th-century glazed door. The wing includes a 20th-century porch on its inner face and a 20th-century plank door at its gable end.

Inside Rock Cottage, the former lower room has roughly chamfered ceiling beams, an open fireplace with a plain slate lintel, and stone newel stairs behind. Peep O' Day features some unusual reused pieces of carved timber in its stair hall, including one above the door depicting the face of a woman, which is reputed to have come from a ship.
