Statement of Interest

Despite the conversion into a single property, there remain some good details, amongst which, the pentice porches, lying-pane windows and paired stacks are the most significant, resulting in a good example of a traditional type. The associated Whinkerstones Farm steading is dated 1860 and the cottage is therefore, thought to derive from the same period.
