Description
September Cottage, which includes the garden area wall in front, consists of two cottages that may have originally been three. They date from the early 18th century and feature rendered granite rubble walls. On the left side, there is a square granite rubble axial stack with a drip course and weathering, while the right side has a rendered gable end stack, likely made of brick. The roof is thatched, gabled to the right and hipped on the left. The layout is somewhat obscured by later alterations, but it includes a single heated room cottage on the left end with an attached outbuilding, and either two single room cottages or one two-room cottage. All have direct entry, and the axial stack serves fireplaces on either side. An outshut has been added to the front of the right-hand cottage for a shopfront.
The building is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front. All windows are three-light, probably early 20th century casements with glazing bars, except for the centre right ground and first floor windows, which are two-light. There is a rendered stone outshut projecting from the right with a slate roof and a bow window featuring small panes. Lean-to porches with 20th century stable doors are located to the right of centre and to the left. Attached to the left gable end is a single storey stone outbuilding. The rear has three regularly spaced windows, which are two-light 19th or 20th century casements in old small openings, along with one very small single light window just under the eaves on the right.
Inside the right-hand cottage (south), there is now a single room running the length of the house, with a brick wall partitioning off the kitchen at the rear. Each end of the main room has a fireplace; the gable end fireplace features a rough wooden lintel, while the axial fireplace has a large unchamfered granite lintel. The adjoining cottage also has a kitchen subdivided at the rear, and its fireplace has a rough wooden lintel. The property includes a granite rubble garden wall directly in front of the house.
