Ruby Cottage The Thatched Cottages

Ruby Cottage and No 35, known as The Thatched Cottages, are a pair of semi-detached cottages dating from 1785, as indicated by the datestone above the doorway of No 35. The cottages feature rubble walling, thatched roofs with coped verges, and central and gable rubble stacks.

No 35 is two storeys tall with two bays. The first floor has two-light wooden casements with horizontal bars, pilaster jambs, and lintels carved with an axe and trowel on the left and level and dividers on the right, along with broad stone cills. The ground floor has similar two-light casements, with a central hollow chamfered mullion and double stooled cills, beneath crude square drips with dropped ends. A central plank door is sheltered by a thatched hood and has a crude drip similar to the windows, positioned above the ornamental datestone.

Ruby Cottage, also two storeys and two bays, has a central plank door with a small thatched hood and a datestone above, flanked by miniature columns. To the left of the door are two-light wooden casements with horizontal bars, a hollow chamfered mullion, and double stooled cills. To the right, there is a similar two-light wooden casement but without a mullion, above a single wooden casement. The cottage has a pantiled lean-to extension on the left side, a small direct glazed light at the back, and a three-light mullioned window.

Inside, there are two winder staircases and two fireplaces with broad wooden bressumers.
