1 And 2, Cove Hill

Two adjoining houses stand on Cove Hill, with the western house dating to the 18th century and the eastern house built around the early 19th century. Number 1 is constructed of painted rubble with slate sills, shallow brick arches, and a scantle slate roof. It features a cast iron ogee eaves gutter and has a plan of two rooms arranged around a central passage. The west front is symmetrical, featuring two windows and a central doorway with original hornless 16-pane sashes. Number 2 is of painted rubble with cob to the first floor, slate sills, and timber lintels. It has a steep asbestos slate roof to the left and a corrugated asbestos roof to the right, sloping down to the rear and originally thatched, with brick chimneys at the gable ends. A cast iron ogee eaves gutter is also present. The interior has not been inspected. The plan consists of two nearly equal rooms around a cross passage, which leads to a central stair and shallower rear service rooms. The south front of Number 2 is nearly symmetrical with three windows and a central doorway containing a four-panel door with later glazed upper panels. The window openings are wide, containing original 18th-century 3-light casements with 8 panes per light, thick glazing bars, internally ovolo-moulded, and a significant amount of original crown glass. The interior has not been inspected.
