Tagged with: Cottage
Possibly early 19th century with later alterations and additions. Single storey (2-storey at rear) 3-bay symmetrical, T-plan cottage built on ground falling to E. Modern dry-dash render.
W (PRINCIPAL) ELEVATION: part-glazed timber panelled door at ground in bay to centre. Window in each bay flanking.
E (REAR) ELEVATION: window at each floor in 2-storey lean-to addition to centre; window at 1st floor in left return. Modern small-pane door at ground in bay to left; window at 1st floor above.
N AND S (SIDE) ELEVATIONS: blank with wide gablehead stacks.
Modern, timber framed windows with top-hung upper lights. Modern asbestos tiles to roof; stone ridge; harled corniced gablehead stacks; replacement concrete skews; uPVC rainwater goods.
INTERIOR: not seen, 1997.
The very small size of windows to the W, the large gap between these windows and the eaves and the comparatively large dimensions of the stacks are features which would suggest an early 19th century date. Despite the additions and alterations, it remains an interesting survivor of such an early building type. It is reported to have been used as J Linklater's coal store some time between 1900 and 1972.
