Bearslake Cottage

Bearslake Cottage is a cottage dating from the early 18th century, with a 19th-century addition. It features granite and local stone rubble walls, a thatched roof that is gabled to the left and hipped to the right, with slate covering the 19th-century extension. The original building has a projecting rubble stack at the left gable end. The layout consists of a two-room plan, with a larger room on the left heated by a gable end fireplace, and a smaller unheated service room on the right. The original entry was likely into the larger room. The cottage has two storeys and an asymmetrical three-window front featuring 19th and 20th-century small-paned casements with one, two, and three lights. The central ground floor window is located in a blocked doorway. The lower 19th-century addition at the left end is recessed and includes a porch that connects to the original building, featuring a 20th-century plank door. To the left of the porch are two 20th-century casements. Inside, the ground floor rooms have closely spaced insubstantial beams with narrow unstopped chamfers. The fireplace includes stone jambs and a rough granite lintel.
