Description
The Bone House is a cottage dated 1807. It is constructed of witchert – a type of cob – with a colourwashed finish, set upon a colourwashed rubble stone plinth. The roof is of old tiles, with chimneys at each end. The cottage is two bays wide and two storeys high. A central door is situated within a shallow porch with a gabled roof. There are two-pane sash windows, and a small gable window on the first floor. The front elevation is decorated with a pattern of hearts and diamonds formed from sheep's knuckle bones, with arches featuring skulls and crossbones above the ground floor windows. Witchert implements are positioned above the door. The date, 1807, is displayed across the front, also constructed from knuckle bones. This represents a highly unusual form of decoration.
