Stone Cottage

The cottage dates to the 18th century and is constructed from red brick on a stone plinth, with rendered rear sections, under Cornish slate roofs and corrugated metal to a rear extension. Brick stacks are visible.

The cottage is oriented east-west, with its main elevation facing south onto its plot. The three main rooms are arranged across the front elevation, with a kitchen and ancillary rooms in the outshut to the rear, running across the back. A short range extends northwards from the western end of the outshut.

The main part of the cottage is single-storey and three bays wide. It is single-depth, with the central bay breaking forward slightly and containing a central entrance under a rubbed-brick flat-arched doorway, now with a late 20th century half-glazed door. This doorway is flanked by single-light openings with metal-framed windows under soldier courses and terracotta tile cills. A small dressed-stone breather with a moulded cruciform opening is set in the gable above. The flanking bays each have two-light openings with metal-framed windows, similarly treated with soldier courses and tile cills. The eaves project slightly. Brick stacks, slightly corbelled-out, are at either end of the main range. The rear outshut is of rendered brick and has metal windows under timber lintels with tile cills. A tall central stack rises from the rear of the main range at the junction with the outshut. The short range extending northwards has a monopitch roof and two door openings in its eastern elevation.

The three front rooms retain largely original features; their fireplaces remain, although the original grates have been removed and replaced with modern timber surrounds. The floors are of narrow timber boards. The outshut has been altered to create a kitchen from the former dairy and wash-house, along with a study and bathroom, accessed from an inner lobby. The kitchen retains a red-tile floor.
