Pair of Cottages Bewteen Couch's House and Noughts and Crosses Inn

This pair of cottages, now part of the Noughts and Crosses Inn, was built around the 1860s. They are made of rendered and pebble-dashed stone rubble, topped with a cement-washed scantle slate roof that has gable ends. A rendered brick chimney stack is located on the left-hand gable end. The cottages are designed as mirror images of each other, each with a single-room plan and two storeys.

The front facade features three windows. On the ground floor, to the left, there is a 12-pane sash window without horns next to a four-panelled 19th-century door, which has a small rectangular fanlight with diagonal glazing bars. To the right, there is another four-panel door, partly glazed, with a similar fanlight above and a blocked window opening to the right. On the upper floor, there are two 12-pane sashes without horns flanking a central window opening that is shared by both cottages. This central opening has a two-pane sash on the left and a sash on the right with margin glazing bars. The rear elevation faces a stream and has an extension on the right-hand cottage.

The interior of the right-hand cottage has been gutted, while the left-hand cottage retains 19th-century joinery. The cottages are included for their group value.
