Description

A group of three cottages under one roof, dating from the late 18th century. The cottages are constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. They are two storeys high. Nos 17 and 18 form a symmetrical pair, featuring doorways with monolithic jambs and overlapping lintels, alongside three-light mullioned windows with overlapping lintels and sills. A four-light mullioned window sits above the doorways of Nos 17 and 18, and No. 18 has an additional single window above its door. No. 16 has a doorway with monolithic jambs, a three-light mullioned window above the door, and a single light window positioned above the door. Gable end stacks are present on the ridge and one other location.
