Cob Cottage

Cob Cottage is a pair of cottages dating from the early 17th century. They are constructed of stone rubble and cob, with a rendered front and right-hand gable end wall. The cottages have a thatched roof with gabled ends and feature gable end stacks; the left-hand stack has set-offs and slate weatherings, while the right-hand stack projects from the gable end and is truncated.

The layout consists of two adjoining cottages. The left-hand cottage originally had a two-room plan, with the left room heated and a central entrance passage that has since been removed, resulting in one room. There is also a circa 18th-century wing at the rear, likely an original outbuilding. The left-hand cottage is now a one-room plan with a gable end fireplace to the right, and the former passage to the left has been converted into a small room. The two cottages have been combined into one house.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window range. The windows include two and three-light casements; the first floor left and centre windows are 17th-century casements with ogee-moulded interiors and leaded panes, while all ground floor windows are late 18th or early 19th-century casements. The first floor right window is a 20th-century casement set in an old frame. There are two doorways, both with slate canopies; the left-hand doorway features a plank door and an outer half door, while the right-hand doorway has been converted to a window but retains the outer half door. Steps lead from the road to both doorways. The rear wing, likely an original outbuilding, has a hipped thatched roof, and there is a low-pitched single-storey lean-to on the left gable end.

Inside, a solid cob wall rises into the roof between the two cottages. The ceilings feature small cantling chamfered beams that are closely spaced. The roof structure includes halved collars lapped to the principals with morticed apexes. The lower left cottage has a fireplace in the gable end wall, which features a chamfered timber lintel with hollow step stops. Above this fireplace, there is a chamfered and stopped lintel supported by a chamfered and stopped wooden corbel on the right side only.
