Hillside Cottage And Attached Wall

Hillside Cottage is a house dated 1671, constructed from coursed squared ironstone with an old tile roof, featuring brick ridge and end stacks on stone bases. The building has a three-unit through-passage plan, is two storeys high with an attic, and has a three-window range. A plank door is accessed by three steps situated between the left and centre windows. The cottage has three-light 19th-century casement windows throughout, except for the ground floor window on the right, which has a lowered sill. Timber lintels are present above the door and windows. A datestone located between the centre and right first-floor windows features the inscription T/WE/1671 within a floral wreath, with a rose on the left and a thistle on the right, topped with a hood-mould. The stone eaves, coped stone gables with kneelers, and a central two-light roof dormer add to the architectural detail. The right gable includes a two-light stone mullion window with a hood-mould and leaded casements. An attached wall, likely from the 18th century, extends from the left corner, and there is a 19th-century brick extension at the rear. Inside, the cottage retains a complete set of stop-chamfered spine beams, an open fireplace with a stop-chamfered bressumer, and a four-centred arched fireplace in the first-floor room.
