The Cottage

The Cottage is a house with origins in the early 18th century, which has been extended and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is built of coursed sandstone and features a stone slate roof. The exterior consists of two storeys and has a three-bay entrance front that shows different building phases. On the left return, there is a twin-gabled garden front, with a third gable set back to the left.

The garden front's left gable, dating from the 18th century, has large quoins and two later transomed casements set in tall ashlar surrounds. There is a similar window in the centre of the first floor, which has glazing bars. A 19th-century lateral stack is located on the left, while a tall ashlar stack rises from the valley to the right. The right gable, which is from the 19th century, features large quoins on the right side and a transomed three-light casement beneath a tall casement with glazing bars, all framed by ashlar surrounds.

To the left of the garden front is a conservatory that faces a rendered gable with a transomed casement. The entrance front has a much-altered facade from several building phases, including a canted bay window on the left and two two-light square-faced mullioned windows. There are various 20th-century openings, including two garage doors and three gabled half-dormers with transomed casements that have glazing bars. The roof is topped with two tall ashlar ridge stacks.

The interior has not been inspected but is known to contain a left ground-floor room in the garden front that features two plastered beams with stop-chamfered edges, an 18th-century inlaid marble fireplace, and a display cabinet with a reeded surround.
