Josiah's Cottage

Josiah’s Cottage was built in 1772 (the date is low on one corner) with stones and timber from earlier buildings to an ordered design by a landowner wishing to show his improving status. He did a good job and made a lovely little building. Rows of pigeon holes for winter food are set around the top within thick walls, under a grand slate roof. The building was later extended by a wing to the north and is now at the west end of a lane with six separate old buildings and a small horse pond. The main farm has moved away to the east and the working farm is separated from the row of old buildings. The owners live on the site.
Josiah’s Cottage has thick stone walls, narrow windows, with reused tudor stone under a double hipped great rag and scantle slate roof. Two bedrooms, one bathroom (shower over bath). The ground floor door leads to a small hall. The main entrance is up old steps to a large living room on first floor with high open roof, & curved braces from the 1772 rebuild. TV; DVD and CD Player. The small kitchen at one end of the living room has new units, electric oven & hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge & washer/dryer. The decoration is plain & simple. Wood floor to first floor. Carpets downstairs. Vinyl in bathroom. Oil fired central heating. Sitting room has 4 windows, looking over farmland. Long drive with good views of coast leads to house with walled/fenced garden & own parking off old farm yard. Garden furniture. Good brick barbecue. Dogs allowed.
