Upper Norcroft Cottages

Upper Norcroft Cottages are two cottages dating from the 17th century or early 18th century, with some alterations. They are built from coursed squared stone with quoins and feature a stone slate roof. The cottages are two storeys high and consist of four bays. Each cottage has a quoined entrance with a 2-light double-chamfered window to its right. Both entrances share a stepped hoodmould, with the left one featuring a spiral stop at the left end. The other windows, including the four on the first floor, are later additions. The gable copings are chamfered and sit on moulded kneelers to the left, and there are two later brick ridge stacks.

At the rear, there are four bays of 3-light double-chamfered windows, with a quoined entrance located between the first and second bays. Above this entrance, the ground floor dripmould rises as a hood. A later door has been inserted between the second and third bays, and there is a square tablet with an octagonal blocked opening at a high level to the right.

Inside, each cottage has a lobby entrance against a central stack, and both retain a firehood bressumer on posts, arched for the doorway. The bressumer in the right cottage is elaborately moulded, while the one in the left cottage is plainer.
