Description
Number 1 Meeting Lane is a cottage, likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. It is constructed of roughly squared ironstone rubble, with a rendered front and east gable. The cottage features gable end stacks with later brick shafts and a slate roof with gabled ends. The plan is based around two rooms – a larger kitchen to the left and a smaller parlour to the right – both heated by gable end stacks. A central entrance opens directly into the left-hand room, and a single-storey service wing has been added to the rear of the same room. The south front, approximately two windows wide, is not quite symmetrical, featuring 19th-century 2-light casements with glazing bars, a 3-light casement on the ground floor to the right, and a central doorway with a plank door. The rear wall is blind, with a vertical joint in the stonework to the right. A small, single-storey wing to the right rear is built of painted stone and brick, with a gabled slate roof. Inside, the larger left-hand room has stop-chamfered axial beams with run-out stops and a large fireplace with a chamfered, cambered timber lintel and a mantel shelf with shaped brackets. Within the fireplace is a smaller chimneypiece and flanking cupboards with panelled doors. The smaller right-hand room also features stop-chamfered axial beams with run-out stops. The cottage has plank and panelled doors and a 20th-century roof structure.
Number 2 Meeting Lane is a house, potentially dating back to the 17th century or earlier, with remodelling occurring in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of roughly squared ironstone rubble and has a thatched roof with gabled ends, along with gable end and axial stacks with later brick shafts. The plan comprises two rooms with end stacks, a central entrance lobby and staircase at the rear, and a later circa-18th century one-room plan extension on the left (west) end, alongside a rear outshut. The south front is one storey and attic, with a three-window arrangement, the left end of which is the extension. The first floor has three large 19th-century 3-light casements with glazing bars, each with a small gable over featuring shaped bargeboards and pendants. The ground floor to the right has two later 19th-century canted bay windows with sashes, and a central doorway with a glazed door, panelled reveals, and a 20th-century glazed porch. The ground floor to the left has a glazed door and a 20th-century porch, as well as a 20th-century window. A 20th-century outshut is situated at the rear on the left. Interior features include 18th and 19th-century joinery, and plastered axial beams in the centre and right-hand rooms. An 18th-century fielded 2-panel door is at the top of the stairs. The attic chambers are ceiled, with exposed tie-beam and purlins, and what appears to be a cruck truss at the centre with a light scanning timber frame partition.
