Green Cottage and Summer Cottage

Green Cottage and Summer Cottage are a pair of houses, originally a single dwelling, probably dating from the late 17th century. They are located in Fylingdales, near Robin Hood’s Bay. The building is constructed of very large coursed stone blocks with a pantiled roof, stone copings, kneelers, and brick stacks. The houses form an L-shape, with one bay projecting and gabled. They are two and a half storeys high, with a basement on the left-hand side.

The original front has three bays, set irregularly. Green Cottage, on the right-hand side, has a six-panel door beneath a segment-arched stone lintel. A small brick shed, which is not considered to be of historic interest, partially obscures the ground floor to the right of the entrance. Summer Cottage, to the left, has a six-panel door set in a wooden architrave. The ground floor has no other original openings apart from a small basement window on the left side. The first floor on the left has a small twelve-pane sash window; the opening above it has been blocked. To the right, there is an inserted plain sash window in what was an enlarged older window opening. The left wing has an eight-pane sash window below and a twelve-pane sash window above, possibly from the 18th century, on the inner return. The end chimneys have been rebuilt.
