GV II

Pair of cottages with attached lean-to. Probably early C19 in 2 builds; altered. Red brick, No.2 in English garden wall bond and No.4 in Flemish bond, with graduated stone slate roofs and brick chimneys; lean-to of random rubble with quoins, Welsh slate roof. Linear plan, No.2 to the right single-depth plan plus parallel back-extension to 1st bay and lean-to in angle with this, and No.4 to the left double-depth, both double-fronted, and the lean-to attached to the left end of No.4. EXTERIOR: 2 low storeys, 2+2 windows, with a vertical joint between. No.2 has a square-headed doorway offset slightly right, with stone lintel and C20 half-glazed door, flanked by 2 square 2-light windows on each floor, all right-hand gable. No.4 has segmental-headed openings with brick voussoirs: a doorway offset slightly right of centre with board and half-glazed door, flanked by 3-light small-paned windows on both floors, those at ground floor with small top-hung casements in the centre lights and those above with central casement openings. Attached to the left gable wall is a large lean-to without openings to the front. INTERIOR: not inspected. Collectively all the buildings in the Little Crosby Conservation Area form a valuable group of similar scale but varied dates, materials and style.
