Formerly known as: Quarry Cottage COOMBE. House, formerly 2 cottages. C18, altered late C19. Roughcast, probably over red sandstone rubble, hipped thatched roof, slightly eyebrowed over the windows, with half-external rendered end stacks. Formerly 2 single-unit plans, now 2-unit with C20 single-storey rear extension. EXTERIOR: 3-light C20 casement windows to the 1st floor and C19 to the ground floor flank a C20 stable door with a narrow hood on brackets below a 2-light window; the ground-floor windows have 3 panes to each leaf. INTERIOR: both ground-floor rooms have a semi-elliptical recess flanking the central hall which appear to be the former entrances to each cottage, the central hall and staircase are late C19. The ground-floor room to the right has a timber lintel to an open fire with a red sandstone rubble fireback; a ridge in the wall approx 2m from the floor implies that the ceiling has been raised; to the rear is a recess, a window before the rear extension was added. The room to the left has an open fire with late C19 bull-nosed brick jambs supporting a timber lintel. Exposed ceiling rafters are altered at the rear recess of the chimney-breast, implying that this was the position of the former staircase to that cottage. Late C19 4-panel doors. The 5-bay roof has exposed main rafters.
