Description
A group of two cottages, farm buildings, and garden walls dating from the early 19th century. The buildings are constructed from random rubble with stone slate roofs. The layout is symmetrical, comprising a two-storey byre and granary to the rear, and two projecting single-storey ranges, each ending in a cottage.
The rear range has four elliptical arches, a pitching door, and two windows above. The projecting ranges splay outwards slightly. The range on the right includes two elliptical arches on the left and a stable with a two-leaf boarded door on the right. The range on the left has three elliptical arches.
Each cottage is one-and-a-half storeys with two broad bays and a central door. They have sash windows, with first-floor windows in gabled half-dormers. The cottages have gabled roofs with corniced end stacks. The garden walls are approximately 5 feet high on the sides, sloping down to about 3 feet in front of the cottages.
