GV II

Also known as: Cheadle Cottage (No.2) HOUGHLEY LANE Upper
Armley.
House, now 2 houses. Late C17 with C20 alterations. Coursed
stone, concrete tile roof. Long and low, 2 storeys, 5 windows.
1st floor 4 lights each, some with centre mullions missing,
centre window small single light. Ground floor has 3-, 4- and
5-light windows, continuous moulded string course rising over
large lintel of moulded doorway, modern door, another doorway
right. Modern casements, tall moulded end stack left, rebuilt
stack centre.
INTERIOR: No.2, also known as Cheadle Cottage, has a wide C17
fireplace with chamfered voussoirs, against the dividing wall
with No.1. Probably originally a back-to-back fireplace, the
main doorway (now No.1) opening into the kitchen, the
surviving fireplace being in a heated parlour. The upper floor
retains C17 plaster frieze decorated with mythological
figures, with moulded cornice below, and original C17 roof
trusses with king post and curved side braces. The re-roofing
probably involved the removal of gable copings and kneelers; 2
finials dated 1663 are now garden ornaments.
The scar of a porch over No.1 suggests that it was secondary
but earlier. List descriptions refer to C17 porch with gable
coping and 2 good finials.
