NUMBERS 1-11, 13 (COUSEN PLACE) AND 15

Numbers 1 to 11 (odd) and 15 on Cousen Road, along with No 13 (Cousen Place), are a row of small houses dating from the mid-17th century, with some later additions. No 11 projects as a gabled wing to the right, and the houses are partly back to back due to later subdivision. The buildings have low, irregular, two-storey elevations made of roughly coursed gritstone and sandstone bricks, topped with stone slate roofs and corniced chimneys of varying heights. The fronts of Nos 3 and 5 are rendered. No 1 features saddlestones on the gable ends with shaped kneelers and has four-light square mullion windows from around 1800 on both floors, along with a plain doorway. Nos 3 and 5 have five-light chamfered mullion windows with splayed reveals on both floors, and No 5 has an additional two-light window to its right. No 7, originally two cottages, has 19th-century windows and a door surround but retains a blocked doorway with a four-centred chamfered arch and a heavy shaped lintel inscribed "S over W E, 1657". The projecting gabled wing of No 11 features large quoins and a shaped finial on the saddlestone, along with a blocked five-light chamfered mullion window on the first floor and a three-light square mullion window on the ground floor, both with a chamfered door surround. No 15, located to the rear of No 5, has a broad gabled wing with an unusually large ground floor window featuring six chamfered mullion lights with a drip mould, and on the first floor, there is a group of three windows under a common drip mould, with chamfered mullions, where the centre three lights have been replaced with plate glass.
