Description
A row of originally five dwellings, now reduced to three, dating from the late 18th century. The cottages are constructed of hammer-dressed stone with quoins. They have a stone slate roof with gable copings and carved kneelers, along with three ashlar stacks. The building is two storeys high, with an additional attic to the right. To the left, the original three dwellings have been consolidated into two, and each features a front entrance and three-light stone mullioned windows on the first floor. To the right, a pair of dwellings has been joined into one, with entrances on both the left and right sides, alongside two three-light stone mullioned windows on the ground floor. The first floor has four two-light stone mullioned windows, and the attic floor features smaller windows.
