Description
This is a pair of late 17th-century cottages, now combined into a single dwelling. The building is constructed of rubblestone with a stone slate roof, and features an ashlar axial stack. It has a T-shaped layout. The cottages are two storeys high with three windows facing the front. Elliptically arched doorways with 20th-century doors are located to the right and left of the façade. The ground floor windows include a three-light ovolo mullioned window, a three-light beaded mullioned window, and a two-light beaded mullioned window. The first floor has two two-light ovolo mullioned windows and one 19th-century window case. A gabled wing to the rear incorporates 20th-century windows designed to imitate mullioned windows. The interior has not been inspected.
