Description
Nos. 66, 68, and 70 on Nunnery Street are three cottages that date from the 17th or 18th century, with later alterations. They are constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a red plain tiled roof that features one gabled dormer. The cottages have off-centre right and external left red brick chimney stacks. They rise two storeys with attics and have a three-window range of 20th-century casements, some of which are square leaded. Additionally, there are three 20th-century gabled part-glazed porches and doors.
