Description
Numbers 13 and 15, known as Devon Cottage, are two cottages dating from the late 17th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. They are constructed from coursed limestone rubble that has been painted white. The cottages feature a brick ridge stack and an end stack on the right side, along with a thatched roof that has a parapet gable. Number 13 has a modern door, while Number 15 has a side door to the south. There are four casement windows, two of which have original wooden lintels, and two eyebrow dormer windows. Inside, there is an open fireplace with a cambered mantel beam.
