Hebblethwaite Cottage And Attached Barn To West

Probably dating to the late 18th or early 19th century, Hebblethwaite Cottage and its attached barn to the west form a pair of back-to-back cottages now combined into a single dwelling. The structure is built of coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, and has a roof primarily of blue slate, with some stone slate sections. The cottage has a deep, double-depth plan (originally back-to-back), running east to west and facing north, while the barn is a long, single-depth range extending from the centre of its west gable wall. This barn is internally integrated with the upper floor of the cottage, the end being higher than the rest of the barn.

The cottage’s exterior has a plain, square-headed doorway on the left-hand side and three small, square windows at ground floor (now 4-pane top-hung casements). There are two 6-pane sash windows on the first floor, and a long, lateral chimney at the right-hand gable. The portion integrated with the barn includes two similar sashes on the first floor and a former agricultural doorway at ground floor on the left, now partly blocked and altered into a window. The east gable wall is very wide, with two vertically aligned blocked openings in the centre, the upper one featuring a wooden lintel and a prominent stone slate drip-band at the level of the chimney stack. A blocked rectangular window is located at first floor on the south portion, and a 12-pane fixed window is in the same position on the north portion, with a small doorway immediately under the eaves above it, containing a board door. The rear wall, which formed the rear cottage, has a doorway near the west corner, two 6-pane sashes to ground floor on the left – with a course of through-stones set above them – and rectangular fixed windows of 12 and 8 panes at first floor. The south side of the barn features through-stones, slit breathers, small square breathers, and several cruciform tie-plates. The interior has not been inspected. The building is part of a significant farm group including Hebblethwaite Hall.
