II

Pair of back-to-back cottages, now one dwelling; with barn attached at west end. Probably late C18 or early C19; altered. Coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, roof mostly blue slate with some stone slate, on two levels. The cottage has a deep double-depth plan (formerly back-to-back) on an east-west axis facing north, and the barn is a long single-depth range continued from the centre of its west gable wall, internally integrated at this end (which is higher than the rest of the barn) with the upper floor of the cottage.

EXTERIOR: the cottage, two storeys and two windows, has a plain square-headed doorway to the left, 3 small square windows at ground floor (now 4-pane top-hung casements) , two 6-pane sashes at 1st floor, and a very long lateral chimney at the right-hand gable. To the left the portion which is integrated with the barn has 2 similar sashes at 1st floor, and a former agricultural doorway at ground floor to the left partly blocked and altered as a window. The east gable wall, which is very wide, has 2 vertically-aligned blocked openings in the centre, the upper with a wooden lintel and a prominent stone slate drip-band at the level of the chimney stack; a blocked rectangular window at 1st floor of the south portion; a rectangular 12-pane fixed window in the equivalent position of the north portion, and a small doorway immediately under the eaves above this, with a board door. The rear wall (the former rear cottage) has a doorway near the west corner, two 6-pane sashes to ground floor to the left, with a course of through-stones over them, and rectangular fixed windows of 12 and 8 panes at 1st floor. The south s1de of the barn has through-stones, slit breathers, small square breathers and several cruciform tie-plates. INTERIOR: not inspected. Included as part of a significant farm group with Hebblethwaite Hall(qv).
