Description

Numbers 4 and 5, along with the attached coach house, are a pair of cottages dating from the early 17th century, with later additions from the 17th and 18th centuries. They are constructed of coursed limestone rubble and topped with a stone slate roof. The cottages have two and three-unit plans and consist of one storey with an attic. There are stone ridge stacks located off-centre to the left and right, along with a rebuilt integral stone end stack to the left. The cottages feature fire-gabled semi-dormers with two-light wooden casements.

The front has five windows, which include two- and three-light wooden casements with wooden lintels. There is a 20th-century boarded door with a wooden lintel and a 20th-century gabled porch situated between the first and second windows from the left, as well as a 20th-century glazed door with a wooden lintel between the first and second windows from the right.

Adjoining to the left is an 18th-century coach house, which has a pair of boarded doors with a wooden lintel. The interior of No. 4 has been partially inspected and reveals a right-hand ground-floor room with a chamfered ceiling beam running from front to back, chamfered joists, and an open fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel. The right-hand unit of No. 4 appears to be the early core of the pair of cottages, as indicated by a straight joint to the right of the porch. The interior of No. 5 has not been inspected.
