Attached Cottage tot he rear of Walsal House

This is an attached cottage located at the rear of Walsal House, consisting of two sections that were formerly two separate units. The left-hand section likely dates from the early 18th century and features two storeys plus an attic with an early 19th-century facade. The right section is three storeys tall and dates from the mid-19th century.

The building is constructed of rubble with a 19th-century stuccoed facade and has slate roofs with plain eaves. The right section has a plain chimney with weather coursing. The late 19th-century shop fronts include a central recessed entrance on the left section, flanked by single-pane bays with canted returns and segmental heads. There is a modern part-glazed door with a plain fanlight and a further recessed door on the right. The right section features a similar two-part shop window, with scrolled brackets supporting a moulded wooden blind box and a plain fascia.

The early 19th-century left section has 16-pane recessed sash windows on the first floor and 16-pane sliding sashes in the attic dormers, which have hipped roofs. The right section is stepped up and has single 19th-century four-pane sashes on the upper floors, with the second-floor window being squat and positioned under the eaves.

Attached at right angles to the rear is a small cottage, likely from the early 18th century, set against the slope of the hill. This one-and-a-half storey structure is also built of rubble and has a medium-pitched slate roof, with a rubble parapet on the northeast gable. It features a central entrance with a flat slate lintel, a timber doorcase, and a modern boarded door. The flanking ground floor windows include a modern six-pane window on the left and a reduced three-pane showing 19th-century casement on the right. The remainder of the cottage is obscured by a modern WC addition. There are two gabled dormers in the attic with plain modern bargeboards and weather-boarding, as well as early 20th-century four-pane casement windows.

The cottage has been bisected lengthwise by a later rubble wall, dividing the space into two units. The listing excludes the rear half, which has been rebuilt and is open to its northwest side.

Inside, there is a large inglenook in the main ground-floor room of the left section, and the first-floor room has a rough beamed ceiling. The original trusses to the upper floor were originally of the queen-strut type, although the struts have now been removed.
