Priest Hill Cottage

Priest Hill Cottage is a house and former smithy dating from the late 18th century, with 19th-century additions and alterations. It is constructed of pinkish-brown brick and features a pantile roof. The building has a central-staircase plan and includes a contemporary outshut at the rear, which has been heightened in the 19th century under a catslide roof. There is also a late 18th-century single-storey smithy with a 19th-century extension to the left. The cottage stands two storeys high and has three first-floor windows. The central entrance is a 20th-century door, and the windows are 12-pane Yorkshire sashes with stone sills. The ground-floor openings are set under blocked segmental arches, while those on the first floor are under blocked elliptical arches. A plain eaves band runs along the roofline, and there are remains of brick coping at the gable ends. The building has end stacks. Inside the smithy, the original forge chimney and bellow are still present. The cottage is included for its group value.
