Description
Honeysuckle Cottage and The Ferns are two houses in a row, with Honeysuckle Cottage dating from the late 17th century and The Ferns from the early 19th century. They are constructed from random and coursed rubble limestone, featuring ashlar, blue brick, and concrete block chimneys, with roofs made of stone slate and concrete tiles.
Honeysuckle Cottage is a single-storey building with an attic and a rear outshut. The Ferns is a two-storey house with an attic, a rear wing, and an attached two-storey rear outbuilding. The front of The Ferns has a single-window layout on the left, with a three-light window on the ground floor and a two-light window above, both featuring recessed chamfered mullions and hoodmoulds. To the right is a doorway with a stone lintel and a six-panel door. There are two gable end chimneys, one of which has a moulded cap.
Honeysuckle Cottage, located to the right, has a doorway with a timber lintel and a plank door, flanked by two-light mullioned casements. It also features a gabled eaves-mounted roof dormer with a 20th-century casement. The north end of Honeysuckle Cottage has a single window in the gable end, with two-light chamfered mullioned casements on both the ground and upper floors. There is a blocked oval window with a hoodmould in the gable apex and a single-light casement with a hoodmould at the end of the outshut.
At the rear, the outshut of Honeysuckle Cottage has two small low-level blocked single-light openings. The gabled wing of The Ferns features single-window mullioned fenestration. There is also an attached two-storey rendered brick outbuilding from the late 19th century, which has timber casements. Inside Honeysuckle Cottage, there is a fireplace with a timber lintel and a collar-truss roof.
