Garris Croft Tatham Cottage

Garris Croft and Tatham Cottage are two houses located in Airton. Tatham Cottage dates from the 17th century, while Garris Croft was refronted in the mid-19th century. Tatham Cottage is constructed of slobbered rubble, and Garris Croft is made of squared rubble; both are now covered by a single stone slate roof.

Tatham Cottage features a chamfered doorway and three double chamfered windows at different heights: a low window without a mullion to the right of the door, a two-light window at lintel height to the left, and a three-light window on the first floor. It has a gable stack and a small later extension against the gable wall.

Garris Croft has two sash windows with glazing bars on each floor and a boarded door in between, all framed by plain stone surrounds. There are two stacks on this house. At the rear, Tatham Cottage includes a two-light double chamfered mullion window on the first floor and two large three-light mullion and transom windows on the ground floor. Although these ground floor windows are not recessed or chamfered, they have raised bands around them. One of these windows overlaps with the 19th-century front of Garris Croft, indicating that the two houses may have originally been one.
