Description

Chipley Cottages with barn adjoining is a cottage that has been rebuilt as one dwelling, dating from the 16th to 17th centuries and the 19th century, with restoration occurring in the late 20th century. The cottage is roughcast over rubble and cob, while the barn features red sandstone random rubble with brick dressings. The building has a thatched roof and an external stack on the left gable end with a brick chimney, as well as a brick stack to the left of the current entrance, which was originally external to the right gable end. The layout likely consists of a two-cell arrangement with a detached barn on the right, now linked by a one-bay section that contains the entrance. The structure is one and a half storeys tall, with a two-bay cottage, one bay addition, and five inserted windows in the barn. It features eyebrow dormers with leaded two-light late 18th to early 19th century iron casements, and the ground floor has 20th century two-light casements flanking a plank door. There is a right segmental headed opening leading to an internal porch with a window on the left, and five irregularly sized segmental headed 20th century windows in the barn. The interior has not been seen.
