Description

A pair of cottages, likely dating from the late 17th century, with later additions and alterations. The cottages are built of roughly coursed limestone rubble, with a straw thatch roof. They are one storey and attic in height. The left cottage, known as "Yarrow," has late 19th or early 20th-century casement windows with wooden lintels, two to the left and one to the right of a half-glazed front door. Similar windows are found in eyebrow eaves dormers positioned directly above. The right cottage, "The Thatched Cottage," has late 20th-century casement windows with wooden lintels on each floor, to the left and right of a central boarded front door. The integral end stacks have been partially rebuilt in stone, with a red brick ridge stack to the left of the left cottage and another at the junction between the two cottages, marked by a straight joint. The left cottage is probably the earlier of the two.
