Description
This is a row of four cottages, including No. 2 and Penpont Lodge, located 50 meters southeast of Altarnun Bridge. They were likely built in the early 19th century and are constructed of stone rubble, with the three cottages on the right rendered and painted. The cottages have a rag slate roof with gable ends and feature stone rubble axial and end stacks.
The layout consists of four cottages with one- and two-room plans, heated by shared axial stacks and end stacks. The cottage on the right, which is likely a one-room plan, has an additional one-room plan extension to the right. There are 20th-century extensions at the rear.
The exterior is two stories high with an asymmetrical seven-window front that includes 19th-century and 20th-century windows and doors. The left-hand cottage features granite lintels above the ground floor openings, which extend to create a continuous string band. The three cottages on the left have slightly off-center entrances flanked by two windows, with two additional windows directly above. The right-hand cottage has an entrance on the left with a window to the right and directly above, as well as a second entrance in the right gable end. The interior has not been inspected.
