Laburnum Cottage

Laburnum Cottage is a house dating from the 18th century, with earlier origins, and with a raised and extended section from the 19th century, and a 20th-century alteration. It is built of coursed rubble stone with quoins to the higher section, and has a pantile roof with brick stacks, one of which is rendered. The original layout was a three-cell hearth-passage plan, with a domestic end raised and an outshut added. The right-hand side is a two-storey, two-window high section, while the left-hand side is a single-storey, three-window section with a lean-to outbuilding at the end. The original doorway to the hearth passage is now blocked and contains an unequal nine-pane sash window. A 20th-century six-panel door is centrally positioned on the high end, flanked by three-light large-pane horizontal-sliding sashes with painted stone sills. Similar, smaller, two-light windows are present on the first floor and to the low end. Painted stone lintels are above the openings on the high end, while the low end uses timber lintels. There are end stacks to the high end and a central stack to the low end. Inside, the room to the left of the door retains an inglenook fireplace with a cambered bressumer and stone lamp ledges on brackets to each side. A chamfered beam with run-out stops remains.
