Description

A long range of cottages dating to circa 1700, situated on Burnt Dick Hill. The cottages are constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond, with a peg-tiled, gambrelled fly-hipped roof. Four tile-roofed flat dormers are visible to the front, each containing a casement window. A red brick buttress is positioned centrally on the ground storey. The range originally comprised two tenements, each with a plain door and pairs of casement windows to the left and right, all set beneath segmental brick arches. There are brick chimney stacks at the centre and each end of the range. The area was known as “Bundooks Hill” on a map of 1817, and referenced in an account book of 1792.
