Description
A pair of early 19th-century houses, located on the west side of Main Street, Cotherstone, and formerly known as Woodbine House as shown on Ordnance Survey maps. The houses are constructed of dressed sandstone with a rubble rear return. They have a stone-flagged roof and stone chimney stacks.
The houses are two storeys and three bays wide, with raised quoins marking the corners. Between the first and second bays is a projecting surround containing a replaced glazed door, while a similar surround between bays two and three houses a partly-glazed four-panel door. The windows are set in projecting, tooled surrounds. The windows in No. 1 have been replaced with casements, while those in No. 2 have replaced two-pane sash windows. The roof has coped gables and shaped kneelers. A rebuilt chimney stack sits at the left end, a rubble chimney stack with a top band at the right end, and a stepped and corniced ashlar ridge stack is positioned between the two houses. A rear wing to No. 1 is not of group value.
