Description
2 and 3 Chantry Cottages are a pair of estate cottages built in the mid-19th century. They are constructed from coursed limestone rubble and topped with a Welsh slate roof. A central ridge features a red brick chimney stack with moulded decoration. The cottages are two storeys high.
On the east elevation, the first floor has two three-light casement windows. The ground floor has two similar windows, with doorways on either side that have boarded doors. Each doorway is sheltered by a gabled doorhood supported by moulded timber brackets, featuring cusped fretwork bargeboards. At the south end of No 3, there is a one-storey addition with a steeply pitched hipped roof covered in fishscale tiles. The east elevation of this addition includes a two-light casement window.
