Description
These three cottages, originally probably a single house, likely date from the 17th century. They are constructed with a rubble core and a rendered finish. Four large chimney stacks have been removed, and an external chimney breast remains on the right-hand side. The buildings are arranged in a roughly L-shaped layout, with a wing extending to the rear. The cottages are two stories high, and have a four-window facade. 20th-century casement windows and other windows are set in irregularly placed openings. Two old, partly-glazed, gabled porches are located on the left and to the left of centre. The cottage on the right has a window where a doorway formerly existed. The interiors have not been inspected.
