Description

Old Town Farm Cottages are a pair of mid-18th century cottages. They are constructed from hammer-dressed stone with dressed quoins and feature a stone slate roof. The cottages are two storeys high, each designed as a single cell. They have doorways with quoined lintels, composite jambs, and chamfered surrounds. Each floor is adorned with 3-light chamfered mullioned windows, although they lack the actual mullions. A tall stack rises from the ridge of the roof.
