49, 50, 51 and 52 Ebrington

A row of four cottages, likely dating from the 17th century, with significant alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The cottages are constructed of limestone rubble with stone slate roofs, with two levels and four ridge stacks to the gables of numbers 51 and 52, but along the ridge to numbers 49 and 50. The north-facing elevation features a left-hand unit with 1½ storeys and four raking eaves dormers over three casements, with steel frames to one and wood with leading to the others. A plank door leads to number 49, and a stable door is within a lean-to extension to number 50. A small single-story extension to the far left is thought to be part of an earlier cottage. The right-hand unit is two storeys and attic, with scattered fenestration including a two-light window with a re-set hollow-chamfered stone surround on the first floor. A steel casement is on the right side of the ground floor, and a small raking dormer has been inserted to number 51. A plank door is to the left of number 51, and a 20th-century glazed door is set back deep to number 52. The return gable on the right side has steel casements.

The south-facing fronts, overlooking the churchyard, have three small gabled dormers over two-light steel casements to the left, followed by wood and steel casements, a small casement set into a stone set-back panel, and a larger cross-mullioned stone casement with hollow-chamfered members. The right section has four small eaves dormers over two-light and a three-light casement. Windows are generally leaded and set within wood lintels, although most windows in number 52 have been replaced with steel casements.

The interior of number 51 features a wide wood bressumer fire with a solid stone cheek on one side and a moulded stone member to the right, which is likely a reused element. The roof also displays rough beams and early timbers. Other interiors were not inspected. The row holds an important position to the north edge of the churchyard, exhibiting simple vernacular features. Number 52 is included primarily for group value, as some of its windows are not in keeping with the original character. The floor levels of numbers 51 and 52 are interconnected, making separation difficult. The property was reportedly used as almshouses at one time.
