Description
Denham Cottage and the attached outbuilding are located in Stoney Middleton and date back to the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The buildings are constructed from coursed gritstone rubble, featuring gritstone dressings and quoins. The outbuilding has a stone slate roof and a corrugated iron roof, while the cottage is topped with 20th-century concrete tiles, along with moulded stone copings and kneelers at the gable ends, and a large stone ridge stack. The outbuilding has small brick ridge and side wall stacks.
The cottage is two storeys high and has two bays, while the outbuilding has six bays. On the north elevation of the cottage, there is a 17th-century two-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a hoodmould above it. To the east, there is a similar window surround that was originally three-light but now features 20th-century casements. The hoodmould extends eastward over another recessed and chamfered opening, which also has 20th-century casements. Above this, there are one three-light and one two-light recessed and chamfered mullion window, both with hoodmoulds, along with an inserted 20th-century window between them.
Attached to the east of the cottage is the outbuilding, which has a blocked, flush quoined doorcase with 19th-century openings on either side. Further east, there are five blocked 20th-century openings, followed by a blocked 17th-century three-light recessed and chamfered mullion window. Above, there is an 18th-century flush doorcase with blocked quoined hayloft openings on either side. To the east, there is a two-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a hood, immediately above a similar window, both of which are now blocked. Further east, there is a larger similar window that has lost its mullion. The south facade has been significantly altered in the 19th century but still retains a recessed and chamfered mullion window under the eaves to the east.
