This photo offers a contrast to the summer view of the cottage. Built probably in the late 18th century, it was altered and enlarged during the mid-19th century, with the addition of a new back kitchen containing another bread oven and wash boiler. Subsequently there was an addition of a cow-house and hayloft, and the original fireplace and bread oven covered in and replaced by a black range with oven and water heater next to an open fire. This Victorian modernisation was removed in 2009 and the original open alcove and bread oven exposed again. A log burner now provides heating.
