Description
Blackcurrant Row is a late 18th- or early 19th-century building, originally two cottages and now combined into one. It is located in Icomb village. The construction uses coursed squared and dressed limestone with dressed stone quoins. The roof is covered with stone slate, and a stack has been repaired using brick. The building has a rectangular plan with a coal house extension to the left gable. A lean-to extension at the rear is not considered to be of special interest.
The building is arranged over one and a half storeys, with a symmetrical front elevation. The first floor features two 2-light dormers with raking roofs. The ground floor has two 2-light casement windows with wooden lintels, and two blocked single-width doorways also with timber lintels in the centre of the facade. A plank door provides access in the left gable end, and there is a single light window to the first floor in the same gable. A single-storey coal store with a plank door is located at the rear, to the left of the main building. A stack is situated at the left gable end.
Internally, there are two open fireplaces with bressumer beams. The first floor was formerly accessed via a ladder staircase.
