Lillipit Cottage

Lillipit Cottage is a small house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features granite and slate rubble walls topped by a gable-ended slate roof. The cottage has three rubble stacks: one axial stack, one lateral stack at the front, and one at the right-hand gable end of the original house. The original layout is difficult to determine, but it seems to have consisted of two rooms, with the right-hand room heated by a front lateral stack. This room is deeper and extends at the rear from the left-hand part, which now has a front room divided from a rear lobby by an axial stack. The unusual position of this stack and the absence of early features in the fireplace suggest it may have been added later. The original purpose of the lobby is unclear, as it now contains a 20th-century staircase. The building appears to have originally had two windows on the right side, and while the ground is higher at the left-hand end, it may have extended further to the rear. A late 20th-century extension has been added at the right-hand end.

The cottage is two storeys tall and has an asymmetrical front with one window. On the first floor at the left-hand end, there is a late 20th-century three-light casement window. Below it, there is a 20th-century plank and glazed door with a wood lintel above. To the right of the door is a single-light 20th-century casement window with a chamfered granite lintel. The roofline drops to the right, where the large lateral stack projects with set-offs, a later brick shaft, and a rectangular oven projection to its left. At the right-hand gable end, there is a two-light granite mullion window with a hoodmould featuring a flower motif in the labels. The late 20th-century extension is set back from the right-hand gable end. At the rear, the left-hand side of the house projects and has a two-light granite mullion window on the ground floor, while the other windows are mainly small-paned 19th-century casements. Inside, the right-hand room has a fireplace with a chamfered wood lintel, though the stops are indistinct.
