Cooksworthy Cottage

Cooksworthy Cottage is a house that dates from the early to mid-18th century, with additions made in the late 19th century and late 20th century, along with some minor alterations. The original structure is rendered, believed to be made of cob, while the later additions are likely constructed from coursed stone rubble. The cottage features a thatched roof with gable ends.

The original 18th-century design includes a two-room layout with an external end stack on the north-west side and a small unheated room on the south-east. A late 19th-century one-room addition with an integral end stack extends to the south-east, followed by a further late 20th-century addition. The cottage is two storeys high and faces south-west.

The exterior has a three-window front, primarily featuring 2-and 3-light wooden casements from the 19th century, except for the 18th-century wooden casements on the ground floor to the left, which have small panes. There is a blocked doorway between the first and second windows from the left, which was once the centre of the 18th-century cottage, now replaced by a late 20th-century circular window. A projecting bread oven with a monopitch slate roof is located at the rear of the left-hand end stack, and there is a late 20th-century lean-to porch at the back.

Inside, the division between the ground-floor rooms was removed in the late 20th century. There is an open fireplace to the left with a plain wooden lintel, an old boarded door at the rear, and a wooden winder staircase in the right-hand rear corner.
