Description

Bel Cottage, Goddans, and Tarrystone are a row of three small houses dating from the late 18th century. They are constructed of brick and feature a tiled gabled roof that is slightly higher in the center. The buildings are two storeys tall and have three chimneys topped with clay pots. There is a rendered plinth at Tarrystone and dentilled eaves along the roofline.

Goddans has two 2-light late 18th-century sliding casement windows with glazing bars and shutters on either side on the first floor. The ground floor features two sash windows with glazing bars and shutters, with the right-hand window being wider. A 19th-century six-panelled door, with the top two panels glazed, is located between the windows.

Tarrystone has two 20th-century 3-light leaded casement windows on the first floor and two false leaded shop windows on the ground floor, which are of no special interest. A half-glazed door is situated between the shop windows.

Bel Cottage features two sash windows with glazing bars on both floors, with the ground floor windows having segmental heads. A 19th-century four-panelled door, with the top panel glazed, is located between the windows and is sheltered by a plain hood. Additionally, there are two sash windows with glazing bars on the right-hand return gable, with those on the first floor framed in moulded architraves. This return front is an important visual element at the end of the High Street from the west.
