Summary

Building dates to at least the mid-19th century (depicted on the Tithe Map), but may be earlier. Adjacent to forge / wheelwrights shop, depicted on historic maps in the late-19th century. Adjoining building to the north-east built in the early 20th century and appears to have been combined with the original cottage; not clear whether this was always the case.

Two storey stone built structure with tiled roof. Gabled ended, building adjoins smithy building to the right (south-west). Chimney stack at the right gable end. Four window front (windows appear modern), no sign of a door, suggesting when the adjoining structure to the left was constructed in the early 20th century, this became a combined dwelling. Windows match etc.
20th century part of the building is two storey but slightly higher than the original building, but appears built to match; stone fronted, gable-ended roof. Chimney stack at left gable end. Five windows at front, unsymmetrical arrangement, door to the right side of front.
