Description
Pear Tree Cottage is a Grade II listed building, originally two cottages that have been combined into one large detached cottage. It dates from the early 18th century and is constructed of coursed rubble stone with a stone slate roof. The stone end stacks have been raised in brick. A stepped roofline indicates the former division of the two cottages.
The building consists of a single range of one storey and an attic, with a small single-storey wing to the right. On the left side of the break in the roofline, there are two small gabled dormers at the eaves, each featuring paired casements. On the ground floor to the left, there is a paired casement with a timber lintel, and to the right, a 20th-century gabled porch. To the right, there is a small, nearly central gable that also has paired casements and a stone lintel. Below this gable on the ground floor, there is a larger paired casement with stone voussoirs, and a blocked doorway to the left.
