Description
48 Main Street in Swinton is a cottage from the later 18th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. It is a single-storey, three-bay structure that is part of a terrace, featuring a lower single-storey, more steeply pitched, two-bay wing on the outer right, which was formerly a coach house. The exterior is made of squared and snecked tooled cream sandstone rubble, with some rake-jointed sections. It has tooled quoins and tooled and droved long and short surrounds around the openings, along with projecting cills.
On the northwest entrance elevation, the main block has a part-glazed timber panelled door located in a projecting central porch, which includes a letterbox fanlight. There are single windows in the flanking bays. The lower wing on the outer right has a boarded timber door in the bay to the left and boarded timber garage doors to the right.
The southeast rear elevation was not visible in 1998. The roofs are steeply pitched and covered with grey slate, featuring raised skews. There are brick apex stacks with circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998.
