Rock Cut Cottage is a Grade II listed underground dwelling located in Wolverley and Cookley in the Wyre Forest area of Worcestershire, England. Built using rock-cut architecture, the cottage represents an unusual vernacular approach to habitation, with its living spaces carved directly into the bedrock rather than constructed above ground. This distinctive method of construction, which takes advantage of natural stone formations for shelter and insulation, reflects local building traditions and geological possibilities of the region.
