Description
A row of three cottages, located on the west side of Sternal City Road. The cottages date to the 18th century and have been altered in the 20th century. They are constructed of coursed squared ironstone with a pantile roof, and have brick end and internal stacks. Each cottage has a two- or one-unit plan, with a single storey and an attic. The front has a four-window range. The doors are 20th century replacements, with the one on the right being set within a 20th century stone porch with a lean-to roof. The windows are casement windows, some with two lights and some with three, set within segmental-arched brick heads. Dormer windows have three-light casements and sloping roofs. The interiors were not inspected.
