Midtown Cottage And House Adjoining With Former Stable

Midtown Cottage and the adjoining house with a former stable date from the early 18th century. They feature painted stone rubble walls and are topped with a graduated greenslate roof and brick chimney stacks. Midtown Cottage is two storeys tall and consists of three bays, while the adjoining house has two bays, and the stable, which is now partly used for domestic purposes, also has two bays, all under a common roof. Midtown Cottage has an off-centre plank door in a plain opening, along with irregular sash and casement windows in painted stone surrounds, some of which are from the 19th century, including a left ground floor fire window. The adjoining house has a central 20th-century door and sash windows in 19th-century painted stone surrounds. The stables feature large double plank doors on the right and sash windows in 18th-century painted stone surrounds. Midtown Cottage is mentioned in the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England for Westmorland.
