Although No 3 has been altered it still retains features of a typical single storey vernacular cottage of the area. The stack shows evidence of a thackstane and the roof is steeply pitched indicating that at one time the cottage was thatched. The wall to the principal elevation is noticeably thicker at the bottom due to large rubble stones used in the construction of the foundations. When the rear extension was built it was revealed that the walls of the original cottage contained a mesh like substance of branches and reeds. The configuration and access to rooms in the cottage suggest that at one time it is probable that the cottage was split into more than one dwelling place.
