Description

This building is a pair of cottages, now combined into one, likely dating from the late 18th century, with an adjoining workshop from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of cobble and brick, topped with a slate roof. The structure has a two-unit plan and features gable chimney stacks. The front displays two very low storeys, with a continuous single-storey outshut under a cat-slide roof at the back. There is a plain doorway located to the right of the center, and two roughly square windows on each floor, three of which have sliding sashes. The right gable wall is made of cobble up to the eaves level, with rendering above. To the left (north) side of the house, there is a garden wall made of coursed cobbles with brick lacing, approximately 2 meters high, with the workshop backing onto it. The rear wall of the outshut features cobble to the left of the central doorway and brick to the right; it includes a three-light wooden-mullioned window on the left and a sliding sash window on the right. Inside, the partition works are made of cobble, and the original roof timbers are still present.
