Description

Standalane Cottage is an early 19th-century, one-and-a-half-storey, three-bay vernacular cottage situated on a sloped site. It features a later lean-to adjoining the gable and an extension at the rear. The exterior is constructed from coursed and random whinstone rubble with rubble quoins, and it has painted stone window lintels and sills. The gable is skewed and has plain putts.

On the south elevation, there is a central later timber entrance door with a high glazed panel in the middle, flanked by plain windows. Above, the attic has a pair of flat-topped dormers aligned with the outer bays. The east elevation has a gabled end that rises into an apex stack, which is now partially concealed by the later lean-to. The north elevation features regular bays with a much later single-storey extension attached. The west elevation also has a gabled end that rises into an apex stack.

The cottage has 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, which may have been replaced due to the horns on the upper sashes. The pitched grey slate roof has lead ridging, and the paired flat-roofed attic dormers have slated cheeks. Painted cast-iron rainwater goods are present, along with stone gablehead stacks that have stone neck copes and later cans.

The interior is in residential use, but it was not seen in 2002.
