Description
Ladycroft Cottage is an early 19th century cottage, which may incorporate elements from an earlier building and has undergone alterations in the late 19th century. It is a single-storey, four-bay, nearly symmetrical cottage with a rectangular plan and features a flat-roofed porch addition on the northwest side. The exterior is constructed of rubble, partially harled and limewashed, with droved quoins.
On the southwest elevation, there are four bays. A modern door is located in the penultimate bay to the left, with a 4-pane sash and case window to the outer left and a bipartite window with a stone mullion to the outer right. The low, flat-roofed porch addition is recessed to the outer left and has a door at its center.
The northeast elevation consists of two bays grouped to the left of center, featuring a window and a door, along with a small window to the outer left of the door. The windows include 6-pane over plate glass sash and case windows, as well as 4-pane sash and case windows. The roof is pantiled with an easing course, stone coping to the skews, and a rendered and coped ridge stack with thack-stane. The porch addition is covered with corrugated sheeting.
The interior was not seen in 1993. The property is enclosed by a high rubble boundary wall with pyramidal coping on the northeast and northwest sides.
