Description

Linney's Cottage is a house dating from the early 19th century, with later extensions added in the 19th century. The cottage features limewashed rough cob walls and a slate-hung gable at the south end, along with brick outshuts. It has a Welsh slate roof with gabled ends and brick stacks at the gable ends. The layout consists of a two-room plan, with a small parlour on the right and a kitchen on the left, which has a winder stair beside the stack on the gable end.

The exterior is two storeys high and has an almost symmetrical two-window east front, featuring two-light 12-pane casements with wooden lintels and a central doorway with a plank door. At the left end, there is a red brick outshut with a lean-to roof. At the rear, the main roof extends down as a catslide over a full-width outshut, which includes a later concrete block porch.

Inside, the cottage is largely intact. The kitchen on the left has a large fireplace with a chamfered timber bressumer and a simple shelf supported by brackets, along with a brick oven that projects into the outshut at the south end. The parlour has a plain chimneypiece. The winder stair is located beside the kitchen fireplace and features a simple post and rail at the top. Original plank doors are present, and the first-floor chambers are ceiled with a softwood common-rafter roof structure.
