12/92 Quarry Cottage 6/10/69 (formerly listed as Quarry House Farm) II*
Farmhouse, probably early C17. Roughly-coursed squared stone, lightly tooled in front, on rougher plinth. Pantiled roof with stone copings and stacks. Longhouse; most of byre has been removed though through passage remains. 1 storey and attic, 3 bays plus passage bay. Modern half-glazed door to through passage. One 3-light and one 2-light short chamfered stone-mullioned windows and another at right with mullion removed; a small inserted larder window between these two. Modern dormer, to right of centre, and flanking skylights. Corniced stack at left over original hearth. Added small chimney at right. Left passage bay has hipped roof, slightly lower than main roof. Rear elevation shows a wide buttress at left and an inserted 3-light casement in centre. Old passage door of thick planks and battens, with long hinges and a stout wood drawbar inside. Drawbar tunnel in wall.
Interior: chamfered doorway from passage to forehouse. Plank-and- muntin panelled heck with carved witchpost in situ and original settle inside. Original firebeam and hood rising through attic storey (visible inside cupboard). Within this a late Cl7 or early C18 wide stone fireplace with deep curved brackets. Salt and spice cupboards of oak, both at left of fireplace. Old joists support wide planks of attic floor over forehouse only; the rest of the house was probably not floored over until the C19: upstairs doors, floors and partitions are of C19 and later. The present pantry is between forehouse and parlour, suggesting an early dairy/service room in this position, characteristic of local longhouses; staircase behind this, possibly shifted when dairy reduced to pantry size.
A remarkably complete survival of the house part of an early longhouse; however there is no visible evidence of crucks and the roof timbers look largely replaced.
