Formerly known as: Quarry Cottage COOMBE.
House, formerly 2 cottages. C18, altered late C19. Roughcast,
probably over red sandstone rubble, hipped thatched roof,
slightly eyebrowed over the windows, with half-external
rendered end stacks. Formerly 2 single-unit plans, now 2-unit
with C20 single-storey rear extension.
EXTERIOR: 3-light C20 casement windows to the 1st floor and
C19 to the ground floor flank a C20 stable door with a narrow
hood on brackets below a 2-light window; the ground-floor
windows have 3 panes to each leaf.
INTERIOR: both ground-floor rooms have a semi-elliptical
recess flanking the central hall which appear to be the former
entrances to each cottage, the central hall and staircase are
late C19. The ground-floor room to the right has a timber
lintel to an open fire with a red sandstone rubble fireback; a
ridge in the wall approx 2m from the floor implies that the
ceiling has been raised; to the rear is a recess, a window
before the rear extension was added. The room to the left has
an open fire with late C19 bull-nosed brick jambs supporting a
timber lintel. Exposed ceiling rafters are altered at the rear
recess of the chimney-breast, implying that this was the
position of the former staircase to that cottage. Late C19
4-panel doors. The 5-bay roof has exposed main rafters.
