Anson Row Portaway Cottage

Portaway Cottage, formerly a terrace of four cottages, now three, dates from the 18th century. It is constructed of rubble limestone with gritstone dressings, featuring quoins, intermediate and gable end ridge stone stacks, and a roof covered with stone slates and imitation stone slates. Each dwelling is two storeys high and consists of two bays, with 19th and 20th century casements set in flush stone frames. The off-centre doorway is massively quoined and has a heavy lintel with a plain plank door. There is a small single light window to the ground floor pantry. Inside, the cottage has a single ground floor room that includes a massive stone hearth with corbelled jambs supporting the advanced hearth lintel.
