Letterbox Cottage Pear Tree Cottage

Letterbox Cottage and Pear Tree Cottage are two adjoining cottages, now interconnected with a village shop in Pear Tree Cottage. They likely date from the 17th century and are constructed of rubble stone with a stone slate roof. The cottages feature two brick stacks and one large stone ridge stack with a partial brick flue.

The buildings form a single range with a projecting gabled wing to the right, consisting of a single storey and an attic. Pear Tree Cottage includes two hipped dormers with twin casements, two twin casements on the ground floor, and a central plank door, all adorned with splayed stone voussoir heads. Letterbox Cottage has one hipped dormer and a three-light wood casement with a renewed timber lintel below to the right, along with a recessed plank door to the left, which also has a renewed timber lintel. The projecting gabled wing features a two-light casement with a timber lintel on each floor.

The large ridge stack contains back-to-back fireplaces with large timber bressumers and a bread oven in Letterbox Cottage. Additionally, there are large plain beams present in Letterbox Cottage.
