Description

Dairy Cottage and an attached stable, dating from the later 19th century, are constructed of snecked sandstone rubble with rock-faced quoins, and have graduated slate roofs with red cockscomb ridge tiles. The cottage is arranged on a north-south axis, facing west, with a stable at its south end. It is built in a cottage ornée style, with a gable facing the road.

The cottage is one-and-a-half storeys high, with two windows and an almost symmetrical appearance. The west-facing ground floor has a slightly offset, segmental-headed doorway with rubble voussoirs and a recessed board door, and a two-light chamfered flush-mullion window to the right, featuring diamond lattice glazing. The upper floor has two six-pane sash windows with Gothic arched glazing bars, rising into large gabled half-dormers with bargeboards and finials. A gable chimney is located to the right. The north gable wall includes a large three-light mullioned window at ground floor with circular leaded glazing; above that, a round-headed window; and wavy bargeboards with a weathercock at the apex.

The stable, built with dry-jointed masonry, has a semicircular window on its west side. The south gable wall contains a stable doorway to the right, a square loading doorway above, and a two-centred arched unglazed opening in the gable. The interior of the cottage has not been inspected.

The buildings form a group with a nearby barn approximately 2 metres to the east, and with further stables and loose boxes approximately 2 metres to the south.
