Description

Gibbs Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with extensions added in the later 20th century. It has rendered rubble walls that include some cob and a thatched roof that is gabled at the right end and hipped at the left. There is a rendered axial stack, likely brick on a rubble base, and a rubble lateral stack at the rear of the left-hand end.

Originally, the cottage had a two-room plan, with a larger room on the right that features a fireplace in the end wall and a doorway on the front wall. The left-hand room also has a fireplace and a doorway on the rear wall. In the later 20th century, a one-room addition was constructed at the right-hand end, along with a conservatory on the rear wall.

The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical three-window front. The right-hand end features a two-storey extension with small-paned two and three-light casements. The rest of the first floor has 19th-century two-light casements, while the ground floor has a three-light casement left of centre, along with two 20th-century casements to the left and centre. To the left of centre, there is probably an 18th-century plank door beneath a single slate hood.

Inside, the cottage retains two open fireplaces with roughly chamfered wooden lintels; one in the right-hand room has the date 1719 scratched on it. The roof timbers are simple pegged A-frames, which may be original or from the late 18th century.
