Description

Barden Scale Cottage is a 17th-century cottage built from ashlar and rubblestone, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, featuring quoins. The central entrance consists of a board door set in a chamfered surround, topped with a triangular arch under a square head. The left bay includes a double-chamfered four-light window with a hoodmould, while the right bay has a chamfered three-light window with a hoodmould, which suggests there may have originally been a fourth light. On the first floor, there are double-chamfered three-light windows in the left and centre bays, and a similar two-light window in the right bay. The cottage has an external gable stack on the left and an end stack on the right, both featuring diagonally set shafts.
