Row Of Three Attached Houses

A row of three attached houses, likely originally dating from the late 17th century, with later additions and alterations. A cottage was added to the right, probably in the 18th century, and a house around 1840 was built at the left end. The construction consists of painted slatestone rubble, with some slate hanging. The roofs are slate with ridge tiles and gable ends, and feature axial and gable end stacks, some with rubble shafts and others with brick. The house at the left end has a hipped slate roof and side stacks with brick shafts.

The rightmost house, built around the 18th century, follows a one-room plan and is heated by a stack at its left side. The central house, likely part of the original build, has a three-room plan, with two rooms to the right heated by an axial stack and the left-hand end room heated by a gable end stack. Around the mid-19th century, a third house was added at the left end, with its front facing to the left. This house has a double-depth plan, featuring a central entrance and principal rooms to the front right and left, each heated by a side stack, and shallow service rooms at the rear.

The house on the right is built higher into the ground and has two storeys with a single window; all windows are 20th-century replacements. The ground floor has a plank door and a three-light casement, while the first floor has a two-light casement. The central house is two storeys high, with an asymmetrical front and 20th-century windows. Its ground floor features a door with a pitched slate hood to the left, a three-light and a two-light casement in the centre, and a 20th-century door within a small porch with a pitched roof to the right. A dormer containing a two-light casement punctuates the first floor. The rear of this house has a door with a pitched hood and a two-light casement to the left, alongside a dormer with a 20th-century window. The third house has a symmetrical two-window front, with the upper level slate-hung. A flat-roofed porch with a half-glazed outer door and sidelights, featuring a cornice, leads to panelled double inner doors. The ground floor is rendered, with 20th-century French windows to the right and left. The first floor has two 19th-century mullion and transom windows with glazing bars. The right side is slate-hung at the upper level; the ground floor to the left has a 20th-century window, and the first floor left has a 20th-century nine-pane light on the front. The rear ground and first floors on the right have a small 20th-century window.
