of cottages from the beginning. It is now a single depth 4-room plan, the

has a gable end stack and the left end room is unheated. If there were a

C20 2-light casement to the left. On the ground floor late C19 and C20 4-
pane sashes, a small single fixed-light window to the left and a C20 3-
light window with top opening lights, all with wooden lintels. No 1 has a
late C19 glazed and panelled door to the right with a late C19 or C20
slated gabled canopy on brackets. No2 has a late C20 divided glazed door
to the right of centre and another similar door at the left end of the
front the latter with an asbestos slate canopy. The left hand end of the
front wall projects slightly.
The right hand south gable end facing the road has a C19 2-light casement
on the ground floor with glazing bars.

stack projects slightly.

2 rear lateral fireplaces has a timber lintel with a thin chamfer with ogee
stops, the left hand fireplace has a cambered timber linel with run-out
stops to the chamfer. Closely spaced light cantling and roughly dressed
ceiling beams.
Roof: was not inspected but it was reported that the old roof under the
existing roof was removed in C20; it was thatched and had straight
principal rafters.
