Description
Church Cottages is a terrace of three cottages built around the mid to late 19th century. They are constructed from stone rubble with rendered dressings around the windows and doorways. The cottages have a Welsh slate roof featuring a gabled end and three gables at the front, all adorned with ornate wavy bargeboards. There are small rendered axial and gable end stacks, with the right-hand stack slightly projecting and having set-offs, all topped with yellow clay pots.
The layout consists of three one-room cottages with direct entry into the front rooms, and there may be small service rooms at the back. The right cottage, No. 1, has a later two-storey wing at the back, while Nos 2 and 3 have later single-storey outshuts. The cottages are designed in a Tudor Gothic style and are two storeys high. The exterior features a symmetrical arrangement of three windows, with paired doorways to the left of centre and a single doorway to the right of centre, all having four-centred arches and 19th-century plank doors. The windows are 19th-century two-light casements with four-centred headed lights and glazing bars, and they are symmetrically arranged with rendered hoodmoulds and surrounds that imitate rusticated quoins. The three small gables at the front include a larger central gable, all with open-work bargeboards. The interiors have not been inspected.
