4/148 Cottage and adjoining barn 60
metres to north of Downrow
II
House and attached barn. Possibly C17 with circa early C19 barn. Local slate stone
rubble. Rag slate roof with gable end on right and lower roof with hipped end on
left. Projecting stone rubble stack on right hand gable end of house, incorporated
as axial stack when the barn was added on the right hand gable end. Projecting rear
lateral stack with cloam oven projection to lower range on left.
Built on side of slope with ground rising to right. The house appears to be of 2
room plan; direct entrance into right hand room which is heated by the gable end
stack. Lower range on left is heated by a rear lateral stack with cloam oven
projection. The straight joint between the right and left hand room indicates an
extension or partial rebuilding. Additionally the lower left hand gable end appears
to have been partially rebuilt, possibly suggesting that the house continued to the
left. In circa early C19 a single storey barn was added on the higher right hand
gable end, further extended to the right, possibly in the mid C19.
2 storey domestic range on left with asymmetrical 2 window front. Higher roof to
right hand range. Circa C19 plank stable-type door with remains of possibly C19
porch leading directly into right hand range. 3-light casement to right. First
floor with 1-light casement in left hand range and 2-light casement to right. The
ground floor room in the left hand lower side is lit by a C20 window in the left hand
side wall. Lean-to outshot to rear on left. Single storey barn on right with double
plank doors.
Interior of domestic range with slate flag floor, C19 fireplace and C19 ceiling
beams in right hand room. Left hand room and first floor not inspected. Interior of
barn with circa early C19 oak-pegged collar rafter roof.
Particularly picturesque and unaltered elevations.
