Numbers 1, 3 (Forge Cottage) And 5 (Rosemary Cottage)

A row of three dwellings, Numbers 1, 3 (Forge Cottage), and 5 (Rosemary Cottage), dates from the late 18th or early 19th century and incorporates a former smithy. The buildings are timber-framed and largely weatherboarded, with some areas rendered. They have tiled roofs with decorative fishscale bands and crest tiles. The front has an irregular arrangement of five windows. The ground floor features a plinth and three entrances: two to the left, vertically panelled, and one recessed to the right. There are also four horizontal sliding sashes, one of three lights, and a fixed casement, all with hoodboards. The first floor has a horizontal sliding sash and two 20th-century 2- and 3-light casements. Ridge stacks are located at the right end, and stacks are present on the front and rear slopes – all with oversailing caps. The right-hand end is rendered and features a small ground-floor, slate-roofed outshut and a first-floor horizontal sliding sash with a half-hip roof. The interior remains uninspected. A portion of Number 1 is within the building at Number 68 High Street.
