Lassiters Cottage

Lassiters Cottage is an early C19 two bay end chimneystack cottage with an integral rear outshot. It is built of the locally relatively rare building material ironstone in small courses, with red and grey brick end quoins. The slate roof, probably replacing a tiled roof dated 1838, is hipped to the north and gabled to the south, where there is an end brick chimneystack, not projecting. The front or west elevation is of two storeys with cambered headed openings to the first-floor windows, which are C20 wooden casements with glazing bars. The two ground-floor windows are similar and in the centre is a half-glazed C20 wooden door. The south side has one casement window and a cambered headed doorcase in the outshot. A single-storey brick and rendered extension with slate roof and wooden casement windows has been added on to this side but is shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. The east or rear elevation slopes to ground-floor level. There are attached boundary walls of stone rubble with brick coping.

The ground-floor front room has a large cambered opening to the fireplace, adjoining to the east a round-headed recess with thin wooden shelves for displaying china and to the west a plank door leading into the extension. A ledged and plank door leads into the outshot which houses the staircase, of half-winder type with moulded wooden balustrade, square posts and plank balustrading. Underneath is a plank cupboard door. The first floor has two bedrooms with plank doors. One bedroom is reported to retain a fireplace which has been covered over.
