Scarifours Cottage

Scarifours Cottage is a small house dating from the 17th century, with minor alterations made in the mid-20th century. The cottage features rendered panels or brick-nogged timber framing, a stone plinth, and a brick gable facing the road. It has a thatched roof, with a tiled roof on the extension. The building consists of three bays and is one and a half storeys high, with a single-storey extension on the left end. The timber framing has three panels high to the eaves, with heavier timbers in the lower two panels and lighter timbers above. The left bay has mid-20th century framing with open front infilling. Windows include a six-pane window, paired six-pane windows, a shallow window, and a boarded door that has been reused from the upper floor, along with a mid-20th century two-light metal casement window. There is a swept dormer above with four leaded lights and an iron opening light, and a brick chimney on the right gable. The extension on the left has boarded doors leading to a garage or store. Inside, there is a wide fireplace in the right-hand room with an oven on the left, and a heavy chamfer on the main ceiling beam. The structure features an interrupted tie-beam truss.
