Description

Nook Cottage, Nook Farmhouse, and the adjoining barn date from the mid-18th century and are constructed under one roof. The building features painted roughcast walls and a graduated greenslate roof, with rebuilt roughcast chimney stacks. The structure consists of a 2-storey, single-bay cottage on the left, a 2-storey, 3-bay farmhouse in the center, and a long barn on the right, all sharing a common roof. The cottage has a 20th-century door and sash windows with plain reveals. The farmhouse also has a 20th-century door with an overlight in a plain opening, and sash windows with glazing bars set in painted stone surrounds. The barn features plank doors and 20th-century casement windows, with some located in a blocked doorway, all beneath slate lintels and slate drip stones. There is a central loft doorway with slit vents positioned below the eaves.
