Tyme Cottage, Innerwick

Dated 1893, Tyme Cottage is a single-story and cellar cottage originally built as a post office on a sloping site. It is constructed from squared, rake-jointed red stugged sandstone with droved, chamfered margins, a raised eaves course, and a moulded timber cornice.

The west elevation features an apsed gable that curves around the doorway on the left. The doorway has a panelled door with a fanlight and a large, finialled gabled porch above, supported by decorative timber brackets with a king post. A window is located to the right of the door, and a sundial panel sits under the eaves to the outer right, above a slate panel inscribed with a poem. A recessed panel on the curved wall to the left of the door is divided horizontally; a J and R Ritchie and Son clock has been inserted in the upper part, likely replacing a former notice board. The west elevation also displays a bipartite window, with the date carved into the eaves course and in a flanking panel to the right.

The north elevation incorporates an advanced wing with a cellar on the sloping ground to the right, featuring a window on the west return. A full-height stone porch is set into the re-entrant angle, with a forestair leading to a door on the east return and a window above a boarded cellar door to the right. The windows are predominantly sash and case with a four-pane glazing pattern. A cluster of polygonal stacks rises from the centre of the main ridge, with a corner stack on the north wing. The roofs are piended and apsed, covered with green slates, terracotta ridge tiles and finials.

Simple cast-iron railings are present around the basement area on the west side. The cottage likely came about through Hunter patronage, utilising the same red sandstone as used in the recent remodelling of Thurston House. The slated panel below the sundial bears a poem by Rev E S Bartlett, who may have gifted it to the post office. The panel's design resembles that of the Thurston Jubilee Trough.
