Description
65 and 66 Butchers Hill are two cottages built in the mid-19th century. They are constructed from coursed squared marlstone with limestone-ashlar dressings, featuring Westmorland-slate roofs and marlstone-ashlar stacks with limestone shafts. The cottages are designed in a 17th-century style and consist of a single range with a cross wing, standing one storey plus an attic.
The main range has two windows and a central chamfered doorway with a pointed-segmental arch. It includes stone-mullioned windows with two and three lights, all fitted with labels. The doorway projects forward and is flush with the right bay, which has a large gable with a pointed slit. The left bay features a stone-gabled half dormer. The cross wing on the left projects further and has a two-light mullioned window above a four-light bay window with a stone roof, also with a pointed slit in the gable. The left return wall mirrors this with similar windows and a central porch that has an arched entrance. All windows are fitted with honeycomb lattice glazing. The roofs have gable parapets with projecting kneelers, and the grouped stacks have square moulded caps. Inside, the cottages feature slate stairs and concrete first floors.
