No. 1 Black Hall Cottage

No. 1 Black Hall Cottage is part of a range of cottages dating from the early 19th century, running east to west. It is constructed of rubble stone, painted on the front, with a painted brick wall facing the road to the west. It has a slate hipped roof with deep, flat eaves of an earlier 19th-century type, and red brick stacks with a raised band on the west end wall, and another on the ridge between Nos. 1 and 2. The building is two storeys high. The south front is largely No. 1, with a section of No. 2 including the canted eastern end. No. 1 has been much altered. The left end wall, facing the road, is made of painted brickwork in a Flemish bond pattern, with a raised chimney breast to the right of centre. A three-light window from the 19th century is positioned above the chimney breast, featuring Gothic tracery and small panes in the top lights, above a partially obscured cambered head. A modern, narrow window is located on the first floor to the right. A painted sign stating 'Black Hall Cottage' is displayed on the front. The first floor has a large cross-window with an iron opening light and stone voussoirs to the left of centre, alongside three small, rectangular casement windows to the right; the second casement is possibly an original feature, also with stone voussoirs and an iron opening light. The ground floor originally had a door with a brick cambered head, flanked by two small windows with stone voussoirs to the heads; the door has since been altered to a cross-window, and the small windows have been blocked. The three bays in the centre and right, aligned with the upper windows, now contain a doorway and two inserted modern windows within new brick surrounds—one larger and one smaller—where a door was added in 1983. The doorcase features plain pilasters and frames a panelled door with a boarded overlight, which was boarded in 2005 and blocked with tracery in 1983, beneath a sloping hood with modern tiles.

No. 2, which is not whitewashed, has one window on each floor, each with cambered heads and stone voussoirs, now modern casement pairs, with the lower ones including a top light, both previously blocked with brick in 1983. A doorway is positioned to the right, with a modern panelled door within a modern, pedimented doorcase, though formerly a ledged door with stone voussoirs in 1983. The eastern end is three-sided, featuring a similar window on each floor within the canted sides (south-east and north-east), with a windowless eastern facet. A later 19th-century stone wing has been added to the rear; this is a single storey building with a slate roof, terracotta ridge tiles, and a blue brick ridge stack on the central axis. The eastern wall and north gable end of this wing are windowless, with a cambered-headed door to the right.

The building underwent renovations in 2005. The right-hand room contains boxed beams and rough axial beams. Within No. 2 is a sub-ground level cell.
