Description

No. 83, including the cottage in the rear range, is a 2-storey building with a 5-window facade, constructed from painted red brick and dating from the early 18th century. It features a decorative modillion eaves cornice and a stone slate roof with three dormers. The central dormer has a Venetian window with a small gable, while the other two are hipped. The first-floor windows are adorned with architraves, keystones, and aprons, although the glazing bars have been altered, and mid-19th century window-box guards have been added. The remaining ground floor windows are similar but lack aprons. On the left side, there is a wooden door case with a moulded architrave and a pediment supported by enriched console brackets, featuring an oeil-de-boeuf with a scalloped margin in the tympanum. On the right side, there is a mid-19th century double-fronted shop with round-headed window lights. The shop interior contains good fittings, likely from the mid-19th century, and three arches at the back may be remnants of the original house.

At the rear, there is a 2-storey stone rubble cottage with a stone slab roof and brick dressings. It has casement windows on the upper floor and a modern 2-light window below. A flight of steps, flanked by an iron handrail that terminates in a scroll, leads up to a 4-flush-panelled door set in a frame with a lintel, along with two sash windows that are three panes wide.

Nos. 73 to 85 (odd) form a group.
