RYLSTONE CHURCH LANE (north side) Manor Cottage

II

House. Mid C17 with probably early C19 alterations. Coursed squared rubble to front, uncoursed rubble to side and rear, graduated stone slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays. Quoins. C20 board door left, in plain stone surround. Two 4-light recessed chamfered mullion windows to ground floor, that to left having a king mullion between the first and second lights, string course over all. First floor: a central 4-pane sash in sawn stone surround flanked by 2-light recessed chamfered mullion windows, the material reused. End stacks. Right return: a blocked recessed chamfered mullion window to first floor. Interior not inspected at resurvey. The building facade was probably extensively rebuilt in the early C19; the king mullion was central to the window originally, suggesting that the C17 house was either 1 bay larger, or had an entrance in the gable end; the left 2 lights being removed to allow room for the later door. The eaves were raised when the house was reroofed, probably at the same time. Similar to Yew Tree Farmhouse (q.v.).
