Description
Abbey Cottage is a house and cottage, now combined into one, dating from the mid-19th century and incorporating early fragments. It is built of rubble with a stone slate roof and has two storeys with three first-floor windows on each side. The building features quoins and a gabled porch located between the fifth and sixth bays, which includes a four-panel door and a small, weathered stiff-leaf capital above, possibly from a colonnette. There are part-glazed doors in the third and fourth bays, a casement window on the ground floor to the left of the cottage, and the other windows are four-pane sashes. Stacks are positioned at both ends of the house. On the rear elevation, there is a blocked 14th-century single-light trefoil-headed window with a hood-mould and weathered heads on stops. The medieval fragments are believed to be from the grange of Jervaulx Abbey, which replaced the monks' brief establishment at Fors Abbey, located near this house.
