Description
Waynes Cottage is a former pair of cottages that has been converted into a single house. The left cottage likely dates from the mid 18th century, while the right side is from the late 18th or early 19th century. The building features coursed and dressed stone with alternating flush quoins on the main section to the right, and rubble stone on the left. It has a slate roof and brick stacks at the ends. The structure consists of a single main range of two storeys, with the left cottage being slightly lower. There is a small single-storey extension added to the front and a rear extension from the 19th century.
On the left side, there are two pairs of 6-pane casements with a timber lintel, and two more on the ground floor with concrete lintels next to the 20th-century wing, including one in the original doorway. On the right side, there are two 9-pane sash windows set in flush stone surrounds, with two similar longer windows on the ground floor. The door to the left features a moulded wood surround with pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice, and it has six flush panels beneath a transom light. A brass sundial is mounted on the lintel of the right-hand ground floor window.
Inside, a room on the ground floor includes two shell niches, and the ground floor room of the left cottage has a chamfered main beam. In the garden to the east, there are remains of a 19th-century Baptist Chapel, including part of an external wall with four glazed pointed arch windows, a built-up baptismal well, and a small ante room that is now used as a garden shed.
