The Cottages And Garden Wall

The Cottages and garden wall comprise a house and a row of four cottages (originally five), dating from the mid-18th century, with the remainder likely built in the late 18th or early 19th century. The buildings are constructed of brick with Welsh slate roofs, although one roof has been replaced with modern tiles. The southernmost house is the tallest in the row, featuring a doorway to the left of its facade and two three-light casement windows with transoms and lower opening lights, set within flush frames and beneath cambered brick heads. A further bay to the left is incorporated alongside the adjacent cottage, creating a three-bay arrangement where the doorway is flanked by three-light casements. These ground-floor casements have very deep cambered brick heads with keystones. A moulded brick sill band runs across the facade of the southernmost house. The remaining cottages are lower in height and vary in plan, with single or two units per cottage, also featuring cambered brick heads over doorways and two-light casement windows, some of which have been renewed. One original door remains in a moulded wooden architrave. Gable end stacks are present. A brick garden wall is attached to the southernmost property, extending to a mud wall running east-west, with slate copings and a cobble plinth.
