The Cottage Way Side

The Cottage Way Side consists of two cottages, which were originally three, built as estate cottages for Rickerby House, now known as Eden School. The building is dated 1732 on a stone lintel and is initialled S.G.J. It features late 18th-century alterations to the garden wall. The structure is made of English bond brickwork on stone footings, topped with a slate roof and brick chimney stacks. It is two storeys high with two bays each, set at right angles, and includes a 20th-century brick extension to The Cottage that shares the same roof.

The windows are chamfered 2-3 light mullion windows with single and two-pane casements. There are brick entrance porches, one of which has a moulded brick hood and a crow-stepped gable. The entrance to The Cottage has a plain chamfered surround with a dated lintel. The Cottage features projecting brick dentils at the eaves. The Way Side has a crow-stepped gable and a 20th-century brick-filled entrance that converted the two cottages into one, with a similar porch lacking a hood mould at the remaining entrance. The building also has double hexagonal chimney stacks. Historically, The Cottage served as the Schoolmaster's house for the nearby village school. The listing does not include the 20th-century extension.
