Description
129 and 133 Station Road are three former almshouses, now converted into two cottages, dating from 1692 and altered over time. The buildings are constructed of coursed thin sandstone rubble and feature a stone slate roof with brick gable chimneys. They have a rectangular three-unit plan and are single-storey in height. There is a doorway at each end, while the former doorway on the right side of the center has been altered to a window. The cottages include four casement windows, with configurations of three, two, two, and three lights. Between the first two windows is a triangular-headed stone plaque inscribed in relief: "THE(S)E ALMESHOVS ES. ERECTED BY.HENRY AND.ISABEL CROSTON AN.DO: 1692." The rear of the building is covered by a modern flat-roofed service addition.
The interior was originally three single-cell dwellings but has been altered to create a partition in the center unit. In front of the cottages is a garden wall made of sandstone rubble, approximately one meter high, with rounded coping and a central gateway featuring short piers that are faced and topped with punched rounded stone.
