comprising: 1 room wide double-depth cottage, left with single storey lean-to, far
left; 2 room plan original house, middle, and a single storey former cartshed or
forge, right. The house has a wider room right, probably the hall/kitchen and
narrower room left, probably the parlour and between the rooms is an entrance lobby
and stair. The cartshed has been converted to domestic accommodation in the C20.
2 storeys. Overall 3 window front of cottage and house: the cottage, left, is a 1
window front and has a doorway on its right; the house has a nearly symmetrical 2
window front with the doorway left of middle but nearly central to the window
openings which are grouped towards the left. C20 doors and windows in the original
openings. The cartshed, right, has C20 windows and door in altered oepnings.
Interior not inspected.
At the front of the house is a raised pavement with granite monolithic bollards along
its edge; in front of the door are iron railings and on the right hand side a wall
constructed of large granite monoliths.
This house is not enhanced by its C20 windows and doors but the robust nature of its
granite construction and its fine stone chimneys are particularly notable features.
