Description
Foundry Cottage is a small house dating from the mid to late 17th century. It features rendered rubble walls and a gable-ended asbestos slate roof, with a hipped thatch roof on the rear wing. There is a 20th-century brick chimney at the left gable end on a stone base, and another brick chimney at the end of the rear wing. The layout consists of a two-room plan with a rear wing added around the early 18th century. The lobby entry is at the left-hand end, in front of a stack that heats the main room, while a small unheated room is to its right. The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front that has three windows, which are early 20th-century small-paned casements in one, two, and three lights. A 19th-century plank door is located at the left-hand end. Inside, the main room features a chamfered, unstopped ceiling beam and a rebuilt 20th-century granite fireplace. The roof structure was replaced in the 20th century.
