Cottage Immediately North Of Yarner

This cottage, located immediately north of Yarner, has origins dating back to the 17th century, with renovations made in the 20th century. It is constructed from colourwashed rendered stone and cob, topped with a thatched roof that is gabled at both ends, and features a rear lateral stack. The current layout consists of a single-depth cottage with a large heated room on the left and a smaller room on the right. There are two entrances: one leads into the smaller room, while the other, located on the left return, goes directly into the heated room. The cottage appears to be a remnant of a larger 17th-century house that once extended further to the right, as indicated by a short stub of the front wall and a partition-thin right end wall at the first floor level.

The exterior has two storeys and an asymmetrical two-window front, with the thatch eaves eyebrowed over the first-floor window to the right. A 20th-century front door is positioned at the extreme right, accompanied by two ground-floor 20th-century two-light timber casements with glazing bars. The left return features a thatched porch supported by posts and a 1930s door leading into the heated room, along with one ground-floor and one first-floor 20th-century two-light timber casements with glazing bars. The right return has two first-floor and one ground-floor 20th-century timber windows, while the rear elevation is blind.

Inside, the left-hand room showcases a chamfered step-stopped crossbeam and exposed joists. The fireplace includes red sandstone jambs, a step-stopped lintel, and a hearth window. A 20th-century stair rises against the rear wall, but a curved depression in the wall suggests the presence of an earlier stair. The roof's apex was not inspected during the survey in 1987, but two of the principal rafters of the collar rafter roof trusses are supported by vertical timber posts. The cottage has group value with Yarner.
