Cottage. Circa early C18 with C19 and C20 additions. Plastered cob and rubble
walls. Gable ended asbestos slate roof. Projecting plastered rubble stack with
brick shaft at right gable end.
Plan: originally likely to have had 1-room plan although it is possible that there
was a very small service room at the left-hand end. Fireplace at right gable end.
1 storey addition made at right-hand end with C20 leanto added against the end of
it.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2-window front. 3 to ground floor. C19
casement with small panes at centre on ground floor, otherwise early C20 2 and 3-
light casements, all in small, probably original, openings. Lower gabled ended C19
addition at right-hand end has 2 C20 casements and a C20 leanto against its right
gablew end. In the wall of the original section, towards the left-hand end are 2
small bee-boles.
Interior inaccessible at time of survey but seen to contain an open fireplace with
wooden lintel.
This is a relatively unaltered cottage which still retains an unspoilt and
traditional appearance.
