Description

Stang Ends Farm Cottage, along with an adjoining barn and house, likely dates from the early to mid-18th century. The barn was remodeled and the house was added in 1778, as indicated by the date on the lintel above the barn door. The buildings are constructed of rubble, with the house and cottage pebble-dashed, while the barn features slobbered stone with quoins. The eaves are chamfered, and the roofs are covered with graduated slate, complemented by stone chimneys. The house has stone ridge, copings, and kneelers.

The cottage is symmetrical with three bays, featuring a central plank door flanked by 20th-century casements within stone-mullioned two-light windows on both floors. The two-bay house to the right has a panelled door and paired sash windows on each floor, with a tall semicircular-headed stair window at the rear that has interlaced glazing bars. To the left of the cottage, the three-bay barn has a part-blocked door and two plank loft doors above.

Inside the house, many original features remain, including panelled doors with H-hinges set in eared surrounds, panelled reveals and shutters for the windows with fluted pilasters backing the mullions, and a stair arch adorned with Ionic pilasters and a carved keystone above the semicircular head. The first floor front boasts a fine Adam fireplace with original cast-iron inner panels, while the rear features a smaller cast-iron fireplace with blue-and-white tiled reveals. The cut-string stair showcases scrolled tread ends, turned balusters, a spiral curtail, and a moulded handrail.
