Description
Pear Tree Cottage is a two-storey house built from local limestone rubble with creamwashed cladding. It features a Welsh late gable roof with eaves that are slightly lower than those of the adjacent Corner House, although the ridge level remains the same. The cottage has a central stack for a back-to-back chimney and an additional later stack on the north-east gable.
The front elevation has two window bays and a doorway located to the left of the centre. This is a single-depth house with a rear outshut. The windows are small 2-light wood casements with small panes, likely from the 19th century. There is also a 19th-century porch made of stone walls, topped with old slates on a hipped roof, and featuring an old wooden boarded door.
At the rear, there is a small contemporary outshut and a detached gabled outhouse. The area in front of the house is paved with cobbled setts, and the south-east garden is enclosed by a creamwashed stone rubble wall with stone coping. This wall returns to the porch on the west side and to the house on the east side. There are stone gate piers and a 19th-century iron gate adorned with scrolled and barley sugar twisted finials on circular uprights. Notably, on the south-east side, the wall is built around a stone mounting block with four steps.
The interior has not been inspected during the resurvey, but it is reported to have a ground floor room in the south-west with exposed joists and a small staircase near the main doorway. These details have been confirmed by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales.
