Old cottage and smithy at Groes Hall

The Old Cottage and Smithy at Groes Hall is a single-storey building with a lofted cartshed at the west end, creating an L-shaped plan. It is constructed from rubble masonry with brick dressings and features a slate roof. The cottage roof has projecting verges and alternating courses of scalloped slates, while the lofted cartshed has a tiled ridge and a single brick stack with capping located at the left (east) end of the cottage.

The cottage has a single door on the right and a 16-pane horizontally sliding sash window on the left, both topped with shallow elliptically arched brick heads. To the left of the cottage, there is a wide doorway fitted with a large, modern sliding boarded door. The lofted cartshed at the right (west) end includes a wide open doorway, which has been recut, with brick jambs and a timber lintel. There is also a single 6-pane light on the first floor, positioned directly under the eaves and offset to the right (north).

At the rear (west), there is a blocked circular opening with brick dressings, offset to the left (north) on the ground floor, along with a single first-floor ventilation slit. The south gable return features a bricked-in opening leading to the loft.
