Upper Cottwood Cottage

Upper Cottwood Cottage is a cottage dating from the early 18th century, with a 19th-century addition. It features rendered cob walls and a gable-ended thatch roof, with a tile roof on the outshut. There is a projecting rendered rubble stack with a brick shaft at the right-hand end. The original layout consisted of a single room heated by an end stack, with a 19th-century outshut added at each end.

The cottage is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with two windows, featuring late 20th-century 1- and 2-light diamond leaded casements. The left-hand ground floor window was previously a doorway and has a slate doorhood above it. There is a large outshut on the right-hand end with a 20th-century plank door, and another outshut on the left-hand end.

Inside, there is an open fireplace with a plain wooden lintel. This cottage is part of an interesting hamlet of originally identical cottages arranged in a row.
