Description

Timbercombe Cottage is a house dating from the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with some dressed stone and features a slate roof with gabled ends and brick gable end stacks. The layout consists of a two-room plan, with a parlour on the right and a kitchen on the left, and a central entrance lobby that has a staircase rising from the kitchen. There is also a later corrugated-iron outhouse at the rear.

The cottage is two storeys high and has an almost symmetrical front with two windows. The large two-light casements have glazing bars, and there is a central doorway with a flush-panel door. The ground floor openings are topped with large stone lintels. At the rear, there is a doorway on the left with a plank door, and a single-storey outbuilding on the right that is clad in corrugated iron.

Inside, the interior is largely intact, featuring plank doors, panelled cupboard doors, and simple wooden chimneypieces in the kitchen, parlour, and chamber. The kitchen fireplace includes a 19th-century range, and there is a straight staircase with a simple wooden balustrade at the top.
