Description
This is an 18th-century range of timber-framed and plastered cottages, now divided into two tenements. The building has one storey and attics, with a four-window front featuring small casement windows. Number 2 has a relatively new door in a "Tudor" style, while number 4 is accessed via a boarded door and a flight of steps with a wrought iron handrail. The thatched roof is punctuated by four dormers facing the street, and there are two chimney stacks – one positioned centrally and one at the south end.
