7 Preston Farm Cottages, Preston

7 Preston Farm Cottages is a mid 19th century building that has undergone later additions and alterations. Originally a pair of single-storey cottages with an attic, they form a symmetrical six-bay block. In the late 20th century, the cottages were combined into one property, and a lean-to addition was added at the rear. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked tooled cream sandstone rubble, with stugged sandstone dressings and dry-dashed elevations on the sides and rear addition. Notable features include stugged quoins, stugged long and short surrounds for the droved and chamfered openings, projecting painted cills, and gabled dormers. The windows have architraved hoodmoulds and include timber-mullioned bipartite designs.

On the entrance elevation, there are boarded timber doors located in the penultimate bays on the outer left and right, with single windows in these bays. The bays flanking the center contain bipartite windows, and above, bipartite dormers break the eaves, featuring blind armorial shields centered in the gableheads. The north side elevation is blind, while the west rear elevation features a near full-width lean-to addition at the center, which has a timber door to the left and single and bipartite windows in the remaining bays to the right. The outer left and right bays are recessed and blind. The south side elevation has a centered two-leaf glazed door at ground level.

The front of the building has diamond-paned casement glazing, while the rear features plate glass timber sash and case windows, along with modern rooflights. The roof is covered with grey slate and has stone ridging, bracketed skewputts, and cast-iron rainwater goods. The building has corniced, brick-built ridge and apex stacks with various circular cans. Inside, the property has been converted into a single dwelling, and a timber stair remains in place.
