Description
Prickshaw Cottages is a row of four cottages built in the early 19th century, with a datestone indicating the 1820s located in the center of the upper storey to the right. The cottages are constructed from hammer-dressed stone and feature a stone slate roof. The left-hand cottage has three storeys and a basement, while the other cottages have two storeys. The windows and doors are dressed with slabs of unmoulded stone. The windows typically have three lights, although most have been altered or replaced with two large lights. Several windows have been bricked up.
