Recess Cottage And Attached Building To North Recess Lodge And Attached Building To North

Recess Lodge and Recess Cottage, along with an attached building to the north, are 18th-century structures that have been extensively modernized in the 20th century. The facade of Recess Lodge faces south onto North Street and is constructed of red sandstone random rubble, featuring a hipped roof covered with double Roman tiles and a brick stack at the apex. The building is two stories high with one bay and is attached to Ivy Cottage to the west. It has 20th-century mullioned casements, and the entrance is located on the left side, accessed through a round-headed archway that leads into a courtyard.

To the north, facing the courtyard, is Recess Cottage, which also has 20th-century fenestration. At the northern end, there is a disused building made of red sandstone squared coursed masonry, with a chamfered corner on the western end and a hipped corrugated iron roof dating from the late 18th century. This building is two stories tall with two bays, featuring boarded-up window openings with voussoirs, a segmental-headed opening with a keystone to the right, and another square-headed entrance with a stone voussoir located at the angle of the wall to the east.
