Two houses, originally three, or perhaps even four cottages. Late C18 or early C19.

MATERIALS: the southern house (number 4) is built with rubble stone with hand-made brick flat arches to the openings. The northern house (number 6) is rendered. Both have Welsh slate roofs and brick chimney stacks.

EXTERIOR: number 4 is of three bays and two stories, consisting of a pair of cottages now joined, but retaining both front doors, these being to the centre below a single, blind first floor window. Set immediately above the blind window is a small, carved medieval head, whilst below the windowsill is a weathered coat of arms or cartouche. The flanking windows to both floors are two-over-two sashes.

Number 6 is of two bays and three stories (but the overall height is the same as number 4, the top storey probably extending into the attic space, with its front elevation windows being square and set at floor level). The single front door is of six panels and is relatively broad. It is set into wide C19 pilastered surround with a flat hood supported by carved console brackets, the door and doorcase occupying a similarly sized space to that occupied by the paired doors of number 4, suggestive that the building may have originally been a symmetrical pair of cottages. The windows are two-over-two sashes, the ground floor windows set slightly further apart to accommodate the front door.

The roof is continuous across both properties, with a shared ridge stack in addition to the ridge stack to each gable.
