Description
Wensleydale Cottage and its attached outbuilding are a house and outbuilding dating from the early 18th century, built in two phases. The structure is made of coursed rubble with some ashlar dressings and has a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high and consists of two bays with a rear outshut. The left side features quoins. The central door has six fielded panels, two of which are now glazed, and is set within an ashlar keyed architrave that includes capitals, a frieze, and a cornice. The windows have ashlar architraves, with side-sliding sashes in the first bay and paired nine-pane windows separated by flat-faced mullions in the second bay. There is an ovolo kneeler and ashlar coping on the right side, along with corniced ashlar end stacks. The outbuilding on the left has leaved board garage doors on the ground floor, which has been converted into a first-floor opening, and features a shaped kneeler to the left.
