Larch Cottage With Barn And Stable Adjoining

Larch Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into a private house, featuring an adjoining barn and stable. It dates from the mid-18th century and is constructed from squared blocks of red sandstone with flush quoins, topped by a graduated greenslate roof and red sandstone chimney stacks. The stable is made of mixed sandstone rubble. The building stands two storeys high and consists of two bays, with a central barn and stable on the right, all now under a common roof. There is a central 20th-century door set in a stone surround. The windows are Yorkshire-sash style, framed in red sandstone surrounds, which show remnants of previously removed central flat stone mullions. The barn includes a large off-centre segmental-arched cart entrance and a blocked doorway on the right. The stable features paired flat-headed doorways beneath a loft doorway, all with plank doors and stone surrounds. The property is marked as Lilac House on the Ordnance Survey map and is listed for its group value with Clematis Cottage and Sycamore Cottage.
