Description

Barlenoweth Cottages is a row of three houses located in St Hilary, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It may partly be a remodelling of an older house. The cottages are constructed from coursed dressed elvan and granite, featuring mostly scantle slate roofs, although the left-hand house has been replaced with concrete tiles. There are brick chimneys situated over the cross party walls and the gable end of the right-hand house.

The layout consists of three houses, each with a two-room plan and central cross passages, along with later outshuts for service rooms and a wing with a coped gable end at right angles behind the left side of the right-hand house. The exterior is two storeys high, with an overall six-window east front. Each house has a nearly symmetrical two-window front with a doorway towards the middle. The middle and right-hand houses feature mid to late 19th century hornless sash windows, while the left-hand house has 20th-century horned sashes and first-floor dormers added in the 20th century. The doors are also from the 20th century.

At the front, there are granite coped garden walls, each with a central gateway supported by granite monolith piers.
