Description
Pretty Cottage is a house built in two phases, with the first half dating to the 18th century. It features a vestigial timber frame and is constructed from coursed rubble of sandstone and limestone, topped with a pantile roof and brick stacks. The layout consists of a three-room hearth-passage plan, with one room in depth. The building is two storeys high and has three windows on the first floor. There is a straight joint to the left of the door and a vestigial wall plate above the central ground floor window. The entrance includes a 20th-century half-glazed door, flanked by two 20th-century casements on the left and one on the right. On the first floor, there is a 20th-century casement to the left and two-light Yorkshire sashes to the right. The roof is steeply pitched, featuring end and ridge stacks. The cottage is included in the listing primarily for its group value.
