Description
These cottages were built in the early 19th century. They originally formed an L-shaped range on a prominent corner site, though a rear infill has since been added. The buildings are now used as domestic dwellings, having previously been partially converted into a public house in the early to mid-19th century.
The cottages are constructed from millstone grit sandstone with stone-slate roofs. They feature pitched roofs with dentilled eaves and corniced, ridge chimney stacks. The Thornton Road elevation originally comprised three cottages, each with an entrance flanked to the left by a two-light square mullioned window. The lintel of the central cottage’s entrance bears the inscription "POST OFFICE”. There are two further windows to the left, representing partially blocked former entrances with jambs extending to ground level. The first floor has a four-light mullioned window to the corner, and two two-light mullioned windows alternating with single windows. All windows have four-pane timber sliding sash replacements, and doorways have square jambs. The return elevation to the right has two ground floor and one first floor windows. A modern lean-to extension and other additions are attached to the rear. The Brighouse Road elevation includes a pair of cottages; the first has a central entrance with a window to the left, and a pair of identical windows to the first floor, all in plain stone surrounds with replacement four-pane timber sliding sash frames. A similar window lights the corner cottage. The second cottage has a ground floor entrance with an inserted narrow window and a three-light mullioned window to the left; the first floor has a three-light mullioned window, and a window to the right above the entrance, both with uPVC frames.
Internally, the original roof structure remains. This consists of queen post and king post trusses, purlins, and a ridge piece. Some spaces have exposed chamfered ceiling beams with stop-chamfered spine beams and run-out stops. Simple fireplaces with stone lintels and jambs are present, along with some stone flagged floors beneath later coverings. Cellars are located beneath the building, some accessed by stone steps, with stone shelving and stone flagged floors.
