Description

Sherwood House Farm Cottage is a cottage from the 18th century, with alterations made in the late 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from slobbered rubble with stone dressings and has a stone slate roof. The cottage is two storeys high and has a double front. The entrance features a plain surround on a square base and a 20th-century porch. On the left side of the ground floor, there is a three-light double chamfered mullioned window with a slate dripstone above it. To the right, there is a blocked entrance with a heavy stone slate lintel. The remaining windows are late 19th or 20th-century three-light windows with flat-faced mullions, and there is a mix of 19th and 20th-century casements, sashes, and fixed lights. The cottage has gable end ridge stacks, with the left-hand stack projecting from the gable. At the rear, there is an outshot under a catslide roof.
