Description
The Scotchies is a terrace of three-storey stone houses built in the late 18th century or early 19th century. The houses are made of coursed stone and have tiled roofs. Each house typically features one window, although Nos 6 and 8 have a small additional window on the second floor. The windows include sashes and casements, with some modern glazing in the original window spaces. In front of the houses, there is a stone flagged footpath leading to small gardens. The terrace is located at the end of a small lane that leads from Belper Lane.
