History

Mid-C19 quarry worker's cottage, sustained by the dual agricultural/ industrial economy; not shown on the 1838 Tithe Map.

Exterior

Single-storey quarry worker's cottage. 2-room plan with integral end stacks and entrance slightly offset to right; full-width catslide outshut to rear. Limewashed rubblestone; slate roof with slate coping to left gable end. 4-pane sashes with slate cills to either side of central boarded door with narrow overlight. Late C20 addition attached to rear left corner.

The garden is separated from the remainder of the rubble-walled enclosure by a fence of thin vertical slate slabs set into the ground, linked by horizontal iron wire with a timber gate roughly to centre.

Interior

Interior not accessible at time of survey.

Reasons for Listing

Listed as an almost unaltered mid-C19 cottage, still exhibiting all the features of the local vernacular tradition. Single-storey vernacular cottages of this type form a particularly significant element in the dispersed settlement pattern associated with the dual economy, but well-preserved examples are becoming rare.
