Hemley Hall Cottage, including attached Barn and Kitchen at right angles

Hemley Hall Cottage, including the attached barn and kitchen, is a small cottage built from limewashed rubble with a stone tile roof that diminishes in size towards the top. The cottage features stone end stacks, which are external and stepped to the right, with later brick top courses. There are three dormers with later sloping machine-tiled roofs, and the rear is covered in corrugated material. The right side of the cottage has overhanging eaves, a central doorway with a timber lintel beneath a stone hood, and a boarded door. On either side of the doorway, there are fixed 9-pane windows with stone sills; the left window has a timber lintel, while the right has a stone hood above a timber lintel. The rear has an outshut with a catslide roof.

The barn on the left has a central double door with a timber lintel and segmental arched windows on either side, featuring narrow voussoirs. Under the eaves on the centre left, there is a rectangular window with two wooden mullions, and to the left, there is a lean-to made of unlimed rubble. Stone steps on the right lead to a higher level, providing access to the first floor of a separate former kitchen block that is at right angles to the cottage. This kitchen block has replaced windows and doors, and a new rear roof covering, but retains stone tiles on the front and has a lower extension with a single pitch roof.

Inside the cottage, there are two rooms. The main room on the left has a fireplace with a massive lintel and a later inset cast-iron grate. The room features chamfered and stopped cross beams and reeded joists. To the left of the fireplace, there is a recess with a blocked arched doorway under a timber lintel that leads to the barn or former byre, and the floor is made of flags. A plank and muntin partition to the right remains in place, with reeding on the parlour side. There are two doorways; the left doorway has a stopped jamb that appears original, though the opening has been remodelled, while the right doorway has a later surround. There is a step up to the flag floor, where a smaller fireplace has been remodelled. The reeded cross beams are covered by a boarded ceiling. Stairs ascend to the right of the fireplace, with the original lower curve remodelled in the 19th century. The barn's interior shows the line of a former steeper roof pitch. The separate former kitchen wing, which remains a single ground floor room, has chamfered and stopped cross beams and a large fireplace with a timber lintel and a bread oven.
