GV II

Small cottage. Probably C19. Weatherboarded with a slate roof and brick stack.

Plan: An extremely small cottage consisting of one heated room with rear and left and right outshuts. The outshuts are said slightly to postdate the cottage (information from the owner).

Exterior: The cottage faces north west and is slightly set back from the road. 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-bay front plus identical left and right outshuts under lean-to roofs. Main roof gabled at ends. Central panelled front door, probably C19, with a gabled porch with lattice sides and a pendant at the apex. 2 first and 2 ground floor 2-light transomed casements, one similar window to each outshut.

Unspoiled cottages as small as this are extremely rare. Group value with the former chapel to the north.
