Description
Ferry Cottages is a pair of attached houses, originally three, built in the early 19th century with some 20th-century alterations. The cottages are constructed of granite rubble and feature tiled and asbestos slate roofs with brick gable end stacks, with part of the exterior rendered.
The front range consists of two houses on either side of a central triple porch, which provides entrances to the front houses and a passage leading to a house in the rear range. The cottages are two storeys high with four windows in total. The house on the left has two 20th-century windows on the first floor and paired 18-pane sash windows on the ground floor. The house on the right features a paired sash window on the left of the first floor, a 16-pane sash window on the right of the first floor, and a similar paired sash window on the ground floor to the right.
The central porch has a hipped roof with scalloped bargeboards and pierced trefoils, and it contains a central door with cover strips and a glazed panel. The porch is boxed on the left and right with doors on the outer sides and four-light windows. The right gable end is rendered and has a 20th-century window on the first floor, along with a single-storey lean-to. The rear parallel range has a roof hipped to the left, a central ridge stack, and a gable end brick stack. It features two paired 18-pane sashes with cambered stone heads on the first floor, while the ground floor includes a 20th-century window and a lean-to on the right. The interior has not been inspected.
