Old Cottage in the grounds of Garth

A single-storey double-fronted cottage built of rubble field stone, with slate-stone lintels, under a renewed slate roof behind coped gables, with stone stack to the Left. The boarded door is flanked by wood-framed small-pane windows with opening iron-frame light in the Right-hand. The rear is built into the slope and has one small blocked window and a blocked former doorway in line with the front door.

The adjacent Garth House is not of special architectural or historic interest.

Although the interior was originally of two units, perhaps with crog loft, it is now undivided. Walls are limewashed and there are some flagstones visible. Above the fireplace is the remains of a plastered fireplace hood, although only the wickerwork frame has survived, and in poor condition. To its Right is a bread oven. The collar-beam roof truss is late C19 or C20 and is built of machine-sawn timber.
