Nos. 52 and 53 Including Workshop Adjoining East

Nos. 52 and 53, including the adjoining workshop to the east, are a pair of cottages built around the mid 19th century. They are constructed from limestone rubble and feature a Welsh slate roof with gabled ends, along with brick axial and gable-end stacks.

The cottages have a two-room plan with outshuts at the rear and an integral workshop on the right, which is said to have been a wheelwright's workshop and has been extended at the right end. The south front is asymmetrical, displaying three bays for No. 52 and two bays for No. 53. The first floor has horizontally sliding sash windows with glazing bars, while the ground floor features casements, with No. 53's windows being modern plate glass. No. 52 has recently replaced its windows with facsimiles. Each cottage has a central doorway with a plank door and a wooden gabled porch. The workshop on the right includes a cart entrance with plank double doors and has been extended in weatherboarded timber-frame. The rear of the building shows outshuts with lean-to slate roofs.

Inside, there are large kitchen fireplaces with timber bressumers and brick jambs, although the ovens have been removed. No. 52's kitchen features a limestone flag floor, and both cottages have two-panel doors with wrought-iron strap-hinges. The roof structure includes lapped and pegged collar-trusses. This building is a largely intact example of mid 19th-century vernacular architecture, combining residential and workshop spaces.
