Two Cottages Adjoining And To South Of Wortley Top Forge

These are two adjoining cottages located to the south of Wortley Top Forge, dating from the early 18th century, with a wing added in the late 18th century. They are constructed of coursed rubble stone, with a brick wing, and feature a Welsh slate roof on the upper section and a stone slate roof on the lower section. The cottages are single-cell structures, with the right cottage having a rear wing that creates an L-shape. Both cottages are two storeys high, each with one window on the first floor.

The left cottage has two 2-light double-chamfered windows on the ground floor and one on the first floor, although the mullions have been removed. There is also a blocked window. A straight joint with quoins is visible to the right between the cottages. The right cottage features a single-light window on each floor and an additional slender light on the far right at an intermediate level.

At the rear, the brick wing is to the left. The main part of the rear has a later central door and two bays of 4-pane sash windows in plain surrounds. The right return includes a single-storey lean-to addition made of rubble, a blocked first-floor window, and a blocked 2-light double-chamfered window in the gable apex. Inside, the ground floor has moulded beams.
