Description
These cottages were built around 1880 as part of the Callaly Estate. They consist of two pairs of cottages, with numbers 4 and 5 now combined into a single house. The cottages are constructed of ashlar stone and have Welsh slate roofs. They are designed in a Tudor style, with each pair spanning four bays and featuring projecting two-bay centres that form a T-plan layout, connected by a single-storey, two-bay link.
The cottages feature boarded and battened doors and three-light mullioned windows with recessed, hollow-chamfered surrounds. A string course runs above the ground floor, except in the projecting bays. Upper windows are located within half-dormers. The gabled roofs have kneelers and flat coping. Each pair of cottages has a corniced ridge stack and a similar end stack; one of the stacks has been rebuilt using brick.
