Inglenook Cottage Rope Walk

Inglenook Cottage and Rope Walk are two houses reputedly built around 1630. They are constructed of limestone ashlar with Welsh slate roofs. The buildings feature 2- and 3-unit plans, with No.29 being two storeys high and No.31 having a single storey with an attic.

No.31 has a three-window range of three-light stone mullion windows with drip moulds, and the left bay is at a lower level. It also includes three stone half-dormers in the attic, which have similar stone mullion windows with small roundels above, along with a central roundel under the eaves. The house features a central ashlar stack with four grouped flues and moulded stone cornices, as well as gable parapets and kneelers topped with ball finials at the eaves and apex. The left gable has two two-light stone mullion windows with drip moulds and a roundel in the apex, along with a blank shield above the first-floor window. The rear elevation has a central gable that breaks forward and includes small square, round, and diamond-shaped single-light windows.

No.29, which is attached to the right of No.31, has a three-window range of 20th-century casements in original openings under stone lintels. There is a 20th-century lean-to extension to the left of the main front, which features a 20th-century door and window. Both houses have gable parapets and ashlar stacks with moulded cornices at the ridge and end, and No.29 has a 19th-century single-storey extension to the right.

The interior of No.29 includes an open fireplace with a bressumer, while the interior of No.31 has not been inspected but is said to contain 17th-century moulded stone details. It is believed that these houses were built by the stone masons who worked at Kirby Hall.
