Description
Nos 49 and 51 on King Street are a pair of cottages built in the late 18th century. They are constructed of painted ashlar at the front and rubblestone at the rear, topped with a double Roman tiled mansard roof and featuring stone stacks at the back. The cottages have two storeys and an attic, with two windows on the front. The doors, which are from the 20th century, have flat stone hoods supported by brackets. To the left of the doors, there are 12-pane sash windows. A plat band runs along the first floor, where there are also two 12-pane sash windows. In the attic, there are two 3-light casements set in flat-headed dormers.
