Description
A row of three cottages, likely dating from the 18th century or earlier. The cottages are whitewashed and rendered, with a slate roof that is gabled at the ends, although the roofline of the right-hand cottage (Old Cottage) is lower. The two left-hand cottages each have a front door on the left side, while Old Cottage is narrower and lower with its front door also on the left. The row has an asymmetrical three-window front, with one window visible for each cottage. The front doors are 20th-century replacements. The two left-hand cottages each feature a 16-pane sash window on both the ground and first floors. Old Cottage has a three-light casement window with glazing bars on the ground floor, a similar casement on the first floor, and a small two-pane window on the second floor. The interior was not inspected.
