Description

Primrose Cottage, and The Croft Cottage (which comprises numbers 2 and 3), form a terrace of cottages. They likely represent an 18th-century reconstruction of an earlier building, although a stone tablet on the front of the building indicates a date of 1664. The cottages are built of stone rubble with dressed stone quoins, and have a slate roof with gabled ends. The building is three storeys high and five bays wide. The windows are 19th-century two-light casements with glazing bars. Bracketed hoods shelter the plain doorways.
