Wood Cottage

Wood Cottage is a small farmstead or smallholding that features a long range with a dwelling and a lofted cow-house under a single roof. The structure is slightly timber-framed, with weather-boarding on a stone and brick plinth. The house has brick infill, while the cow-house has open boarded framing. It is topped with a random slate roof and has a single brick external chimney on the gable wall of the dwelling.

In the front elevation, the dwelling is located to the left. It is a small two-storey building with a two-unit plan, featuring an off-centre boarded door flanked by small windows that have been variously renewed in aluminium and UPVC within the original openings. The upper windows are positioned just beneath the eaves, and there is a second doorway that provides independent access to the right-hand domestic room. The cow-house has a higher plinth and includes a tiny window at each end of its long range, along with a wide doorway near the centre. This doorway aligns with a narrower mucking-out door located above the higher plinth at the rear. The rear wall of the cow-house has three boarded loading doors, and there is one in the gable end. The rear elevation of the dwelling features small modern windows and a brick and weather-boarded lean-to against its gable end.

The dwelling has a small two-roomed plan divided by a horizontal boarded wall, with the timber-framed structure partially visible in the external walls. The joinery is simple, including boarded doors. The cow-house has a more fully exposed structure, with three principal bays subdivided by regularly spaced posts and braced at the angles. The gable end features a queen-post truss, while queen strut trusses are found elsewhere. The internal layout of the cow-house remains largely intact, with substantial remains of partitions, feeding racks, and pitched stone and brick floors.
