2 and 3, Crowther Fold

Nos 2 and 3 Crowther Fold are a row of three cottages, originally part of an earlier cottage that has been converted into two dwellings. The earliest cottage, marked with the initials and date "R F 1700" (for Robert Ferrand), is located on the right side of the row. The other cottages are marked with the initials and date "B F 1776" (for Benjamin Ferrand), with a mid-20th century bay added to the left that matches the original style.

The cottages are constructed from hammer-dressed stone with dressed quoins and feature stone slate roofs. They are two storeys high, with the earlier single-storey cottage set back from the others, each cottage being a single cell. The two-storey cottages have quoins and each features a doorway with tie-stone jambs and a chamfered surround to the left of a flat-faced mullioned window. The slightly recessed mullions have an inner chamfer, and there are lintels and sills above them. The outer cells have a four-light window with a five-light window above, while the central cell has a five-light window on each floor. The cottages have gable stacks and two additional ridge stacks.

The earlier cottage has quoined angles except where it joins the other cottages. Its doorway features monolithic jambs with a dated lintel and a chamfered surround to the left of a former two-light chamfered window that is missing its mullion. This cottage also has a gable stack.

These cottages are an early example of estate workers' housing built by the Ferrands on the boundary of the St. Ives Estate.
