Lower Cottwood Cottage

Lower Cottwood Cottage is a cottage dating from the early 18th century, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It features plastered cob and rubble walls, and a gable-ended asbestos slate roof. There is a projecting plastered rubble stack with a brick shaft at the right gable end. The original layout likely consisted of a one-room plan, possibly with a very small service room at the left end, and a fireplace located at the right gable end.

The cottage has a two-storey structure with an asymmetrical two-window front, and three windows on the ground floor. The central window on the ground floor is a 19th-century casement with small panes, while the other windows are early 20th-century two and three-light casements, all set in small, likely original openings. At the right-hand end, there is a lower gabled 19th-century addition featuring two 20th-century casements and a 20th-century lean-to against its right gable end. Towards the left-hand end of the original section, there are two small bee-boles in the wall.

The interior was inaccessible during the survey but is known to contain an open fireplace with a wooden lintel. Overall, this cottage remains relatively unaltered, preserving a traditional and unspoilt appearance.
