Description
Harp Cottage is a single-storey cottage built of brick, featuring rock-faced quoins and a plinth band. It has a hipped slate roof with a central brick stack that also has rock-faced quoins and three square pots. The cottage is double fronted, with a centrally placed boarded door and 12-pane sash windows set in dressed stone surrounds. There are similar windows on the right side wall, which has two windows, and a single window at the rear. The left side wall includes a modern single-storey extension. Although not inspected in November-December 1996, it is likely that the rooms are arranged around a central chimney.
