Description
Nos. 5-8 are a block of four dwellings built around 1850 for the 2nd Earl of Radnor, designed in the Cotswold vernacular style. They are similar to other estate cottages but are larger in scale. The buildings are constructed of rubble stone with stone dressings and feature a gabled Welsh slate roof with stone ridge stacks. Nos. 5 and 6 are positioned at right angles to the road, showcasing roadside gables, while No. 7 faces the road directly, and No. 8 is attached at right angles to the end. The stepped plan creates an attractive interplay of planes. The dwellings are two storeys high and have 2- and 3-light plain mullioned windows with 8-pane casements. Gabled porches with plank doors are present at Nos. 5, 7, and 8, while No. 6 has an integral porch.
