Description
Angler's Cottage is an inn that has been converted into a house and holiday cottage. It was built in 1768, with some alterations made in the late 19th century. The structure is made of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building has quoins and is two storeys high with five bays. The facade is symmetrical on the left, while the right side has two narrower bays.
The main entrance is located in the second bay and features a 20th-century door with a plain overlight in a sawn stone surround. Above this door is a stone plaque with a round-headed recess and letters in relief. To the right of the entrance, there is a blocked doorway with the letters "0" and "1754" crudely incised on the right jamb. The windows are rectangular with plain stone surrounds; the ground floor has 20th-century casements in the third and fourth bays, while the other windows feature four-pane sashes. The window in the fourth bay on the ground floor is smaller than those in the first three bays, and the windows in bays four and five are larger. The building has end stacks.
Inside, the blocked front doorway reveals a fine built-in shelf unit from the mid to late 18th century, featuring shaped shelves and a shell hood.
Historically, the building was known as the Angler's Inn, established in 1760, with John Inman as the landlord. In 1797, Henry Ovington resided at the inn during a meeting of landowners discussing land enclosure in the area. The inn's license was surrendered in 1882, after which the property was owned by Mr. Tennant of Chapel House, leading to the establishment of the nearby Tennant Arms.
