Description
This is a range of cottages forming a terrace, dated 1826 as indicated by the initials "RB/T" on a tablet. The cottages are built of coursed squared rubble stone. They are two storeys high, with generally one window on each ground floor, although some have two windows on the first floor. Arched doorways are present on one side of the terrace, each with a keystone and impost blocks to the flat surrounds. A stone sill band runs along the first floor, and the eaves have stone gutters. The roof is slate-covered.
