Yarnbury Cottage

Yarnbury Cottage is a house that possibly dates from the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century conversion and a 20th-century addition. It is constructed of coursed gritstone rubble and has a grey slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features two bays, with quoins on the right side.

A central 20th-century single-storey porch has small-pane windows, while the flanking and first-floor windows have slightly projecting plain stone surrounds and 20th-century small-pane frames. The cottage includes stone gutter brackets, a kneeler, and gable coping on the right side, as well as end stacks. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey.

Yarnbury Cottage is included for its group value and may have originally been a farmhouse. It likely became an agent's house around 1818 when the Duke of Devonshire appointed John Taylor as chief agent and Captain Barratt as the local agent for the lead mines. This period coincided with alterations at Yarnbury House, suggesting that the agent may have stopped living on the premises at that time.
