Pair of cottages, dated 1718, with later addition at right end.
Coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, slate roof with chimneys at
both original gables (roof of addition continues beyond that on the
right). Single pile plan, each cottage 2 bays making a long range of
4 bays (with 5th added) and 2 storeys, but with a broad single storey extension
to the rear of each. Doorway to baffle entry at left end has lintel with
a moulded square panel containing incised lettering "C I" and a pattern
1718
of 3 groups of 5 dots (domino fashion). Originally four 4-light windows
on each floor, all with slightly recessed chamfered mullions and those at
ground floor with simple hoodmoulds, but at ground floor only the 3rd
is intact; the 1st and 2nd lack some mullions (the 1st with an added light
to the left), and the 4th has been altered as a door with a large window
inserted to the right of it. Rear wall has at ground floor between the
extensions a 6-light window with a hoodmould, the 4th light blocked;
extensions have mainly altered windows, but some mullions remain.
