History

C18 cottage. The Tithe Map of the parish, 1842, did not show many individual buildings but shows the parcel of land of just over 6 acres (2.4 hectares) is marked as 'Maen'; as are several others. Owned by Hampton Lewis John Hampton Esq and occupied by Elizabeth Jones.

Exterior

Two-storey cottage, extended to the rear by a single storey outshut at the N end under a catslide roof. Built of rubble masonry, limewashed, with boulder foundations. Roof of old small slates, grouted, tiled coping at L (S) end. Rectangular gable stacks, with dripstones and capping. The principal elevation opens E into a small yard, the ground floor openings at the N end now boarded up but seem to be a mirror to the panelled door and small-paned sash window at the S end; the windows flanking the paired doorways. There are 2 x 1st floor windows set directly under the eaves, that to S, over the S doorway, is an uneven small-paned sash; that to N, over the N window, a larger 4-pane horned sash. The rear elevation could not be clearly seen, but there appears to be a small paned 1st floor light under the eaves. The cottage is set at right angles to the road and the S gable has a wide doorway into the rear outshut, a single ground floor window to its left and a smaller 1st floor window to the L (E) end; both windows are 4-pane fixed lights.

Interior

Interior not inspected at the time of the survey. Said to retain all internal fixtures and fittings.
