Description

1 Main Street in Spott is an earlier cottage that is connected to a cottage built around 1830. Both buildings are single-storey and constructed from red rubble sandstone with ashlar dressings.

On the north elevation facing the street, the earlier cottage features a three-bay single-storey block on the left, with a central door flanked by windows, all situated under the eaves. The later cottage has three slightly advanced bays with a central doorway and windows on either side, and a blank wallhead below the eaves.

The south elevation shows large, altered windows on the earlier cottage to the right. The left cottage has a doorway flanked by windows, with gabled stone dormers on the outer bays that break the eaves, and a tile-hung gabled dormer from around 1925 above the eaves. The sash and case windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern, and there are gable end stacks, ashlar coped skews, and pantiles. Additionally, there is a red rubble retaining wall that supports the rising ground to the south and runs alongside the roadside to the east.
