Wellbank And Greystones With Attached Barn To Rear

A pair of cottages, built in the late 17th century and remodelled in the 19th century, with later additions and alterations. They are located on the south-east side of Langford Road. The cottages are constructed from uncoursed limestone rubble, with a stone slate roof. To the left is a short gabled range at right angles to the rear, which continues as a barn under a different roof pitch. A smaller cottage to the right has been extended in the 20th century. Each cottage is two storeys high. The cottages have 19th-century casement windows with wood lintels. There is one window on each side of a roughly central entrance, with first-floor windows directly below the eaves. The entrances have contemporary open gabled timber porches supported on octagonal wooden posts. Wellbank has integral red brick end stacks, located at a straight joint with Greystones. Greystones has a red brick ridge stack to the left and a former integral end stack to the right at the junction with the 20th-century addition. The addition has casement windows with wood lintels on each floor. A tall, rectangular window with a dripstone is in the left gable end on the first floor, and there are two three-light casements (one directly above the other) with dripstones to the back wall of Wellbank. The barn to the rear has a machine tile roof and 19th-century casement windows to the garden side. The interior of Wellbank was inspected and has chamfered ceiling beams to the ground floor rooms. The barn has a collar beam roof in three bays with principal rafters rising directly from the wall tops. The cottages occupy a prominent corner position.
