GV II

Cottage. Late C17 or early C18, with later additions at rear. Roughcast stone with
slated roof. In left-hand gable a thick projecting chimneystack with projecting
course of slatestone as a cap, this being surmounted by a later roughcast shaft; the
stack is believed to have belonged originally to the adjoining cottage, since
demolished. Smaller roughcast stack on right-hand gable. Original part of cottage
has only 1 ground storey room at present, but probably had 2 originally. 2 storeys,
2 widely spaced windows wide,with centre doorway. C20 wood casement windows with 6
panes per light; the upper storey windows, which rise as dormer gables above the
eaves-line, have 4-paned transom lights. C20 plank door, the top half opening
separately; C20 gabled porch.
Interior has rough, partly chamfered upper-floor beam in ground storey. Fireplace
in right-hand gable appears to have been reconstructed in old granite blocks, but
plain right-hand jamb is probably original. 1 original roof-truss survives, with
plain feet to the principal rafters and peg-holes suggesting that a collar was
originally pegged to the face of the truss.
Included for group value.
