No. 2 Black Hall Cottage

No. 2 Black Hall Cottage is part of a range of cottages known as Blackhall Cottages, which runs east to west and features a canted eastern end. The building is constructed of rubble stone, with No. 1 being painted, while No. 2 is not whitewashed. The cottages have a slate hipped roof with deep flat eaves typical of the early 19th century, and red brick stacks with a raised band on the western end wall and on the ridge between Nos 1 and 2.

The building is two storeys high. The southern front primarily showcases No. 1, with only the right bay and the canted end representing No. 2. No. 1 has undergone significant alterations. The first floor features a large cross-window to the left of centre and three small rectangular single casements to the right. On the ground floor, there is a door with a brick cambered head flanked by two small windows with stone voussoirs above their heads; the door has been converted into a cross-window, and the small windows are now blocked. The three bays in the centre and right, which align with the small upper windows, include a doorway and two modern inserted windows. The doorcase has plain pilasters and frames a half-glazed door with a blocked overlight.

No. 2 has one window on each floor with cambered heads and stone voussoirs, featuring modern casement pairs, although both openings were blocked in brick in 1983. The doorway to the right has modern panelled doors within a modern pedimented doorcase, and a ledged door with stone voussoirs was added in 1983. The eastern end of No. 2 is three-sided, with similar windows on the southeast and northeast canted sides, while the eastern facet is windowless. The rear of the building includes a later 19th-century stone wing, which is single storey with a slate roof, terracotta ridge tiles, and a blue brick ridge stack on the axis. The windowless eastern wall and northern gable end feature a cambered-headed door to the right.

Notably, there is an underground cell in this part of the building where prisoners were kept in irons.
