Folly Yard

This is a small, probably 18th-century cottage located on the south side of Main Street in Sedbergh. It was derelict when inspected in 1994. The cottage is built of coursed mixed rubble with quoins and has a slate roof. It has a single-depth, double-fronted plan.

The external facade features two windows on each floor. Quoins are visible where the cottage adjoins number 9 to the left. A segmental-headed doorway is at ground floor level, flanked by segmental-headed square windows; all these openings are defined by rubble voussoirs and currently lack any joinery. The first floor has a window above the right-hand ground floor window, now reduced in width and also without joinery, along with a narrow casement to the left.

Inside, the cottage has a roughly-hewn ceiling beam and a narrow staircase located beside the front wall. Some building work was evident at the time of inspection. The cottage forms a group with numbers 9 and 11 to the left.
