Statement of Interest

The cottages are sited to W of West Blackadder farm house and steading. Although they are unoccupied and in poor condition (1996), they are of architectural interest. There is some indication in the masonry that the eaves were formerly about 2 feet lower. The dormers were probably added in the later 19th century when the eaves were raised.
