Nos 71 and 73 are a pair of cottages located at the end of a terrace on the corner of Melancholy Lane, with a date stone indicating they were built in 1719 in the rear wing of No 71.

The rear wing of No 71 has part-plastered walls and a tiled roof. No 73 has a 20th-century glazed door, three casement windows with glazing bars on the ground floor, and three gabled dormers with similar casements in the attic.
