Description
Burrow Heights Cottages is a pair of houses dating from the late 17th century. They are constructed of slobbered rubble with a slate roof at the front and a stone slate roof at the rear. The cottages are two storeys high. The windows are mullioned, featuring a rebate and chamfer. No. 1, located on the left, has three bays; the windows in the first and second bays each have three lights, while the third bay has a two-light window on the first floor and a surround with the mullions removed below. The door, positioned between the first and second bays, has a chamfered surround with a Tudor-arched head. No. 2 consists of one bay and has three-light windows, with a door on the left that has plain reveals. A continuous drip course runs above the doors of both houses. There are chimneys on the gables and between the two cottages, with the right-hand gable featuring coping and a kneeler. The interior includes exposed ceiling joists, with two large chamfered axial main joists in each room.
