The Cottage

The Cottage is a cottage with origins dating back to the 17th century. It is constructed from random local stone and features a plain clay tiled roof with fish scale tile courses. The building is one storey with an attic. A nearly central stone mullioned four-light window with ovolo mouldings and a label head is a prominent feature, while the remaining windows are simple wood casements placed randomly. There is a first-floor window set in a gabled dormer, and the door is located on the north side. The cottage has an end brick stack on the south side, with the original fireplace, which has been slightly altered, and a reducing flue still in place. Inside, there is probably an early 19th-century winding staircase without a handrail, along with some early partitions and doors. The roof purlins and principal rafters, likely original, are exposed in the bedroom.
