Description
This building is a cottage known as No 2, Town Tenement, likely dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of rendered cob with a thatched roof made of wheatstraw, which is half hipped to the left. There is a rendered stack on the building.
The cottage has a one-roomed plan and faces west, with the ground falling to the right. The end stack is located to the left, and the front entrance is to the right. It is possible that this cottage was once part of a larger house that included the neighboring house to the right, which is No 1, Town Tenement.
On the exterior, there are two 19th-century two-light wooden casements on the first floor and a ground-floor two-light wooden casement to the left. The doorway to the right features a 19th-century plank door with a beaded wooden frame, and there is a late 20th-century glazed gabled porch.
The interior has not been inspected, but it includes two ground-floor chamfered cross beams and a segmental-arched fireplace with stone jambs. The cottage faces a courtyard, which is likely a former farmyard, opposite No 3 Town Tenement.
