Scope and Content Part of a group listing of ‘Mid 19th century and earlier’ cottage, former smithy and limekiln. The smithy cottage comprises a three-bay single storey with attic and a lower single storey bay to the west. Access could not be gained upon visiting, however, the junction between the bays, as well as the ridge and eyelid dormer details could be seen from the road. The thatch appears to be entirely netted and a lead flashing has been used at the junction between the main cottage and lower bay. According to the listing notes, which were updated in 2008, ‘when originally listed the smithy roof was covered with corrugated iron’, something that can be confirmed when viewing the building using web-based street view. It can therefore be assumed that the current thatched roof is a relatively modern installation, which it’s condition would confirm.
