The cottages were probably farmer workers' cottages for Blackadder Mains which lies to NW. This and the steading were part of the Blackadder estate, which is indicated by the ornamental slating, seen also, for example, in Allanton. There is some indication that the original cottages were symmetrical with a door to each intermediate bay of S elevation and bipartite window to inner left, where the door is now, 1996.
