Primrose Cottage

Primrose Cottage is a terrace of three cottages, dating from the 19th century, with possible earlier origins. A small building is indicated on the site in the 1840 tithe map, originally functioning as a house or public house with an adjoining cart shed on the right. The cart shed was later converted into a cottage, with the wide entrance infilled with a door and window, and a stone end stack added. An additional unit appears to have been added to the left end.

The cottages are two storeys high, constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof featuring red ridge tiles and a cusped eaves cornice. The right cottage has a stone end stack, the central cottage has a stone ridge stack, and the left cottage has a brick end stack. A butt joint indicates that the left cottage is a later addition. Each cottage has a door on the right and a window on the left. The front doors are planked, with the left and right doors having overlights. The central and right cottages feature twelve-pane horned sash windows, with the right cottage having a wider window. Between these two is a very small four-pane window of earlier origin. The left cottage has a two-light casement window. All openings have flat arched stone heads, but those of the right cottage are under a wide segmental arch that originally formed the cart entrance. Each cottage has a two-light multi-pane casement window on the upper storey that rises to the eaves, directly above the lower storey windows. At the rear, there is a large lean-to with a balcony and dormers, while the gable ends have no openings, and the eastern gable end is rendered.

Access to the interior was not available at the time of inspection on December 11, 1997.
