Description
Number 3 and the adjoining Smithy is a pair of cottages, now combined into one, dating from the early 19th century. The building is constructed of limestone rubble with dressed stone quoins and features a stone slate roof with a single ashlar stack. There are two other stacks that were restored in the 20th century, also with dressed stone quoins, along with brick stacks at the rear and at the smithy. The cottages have a rectangular plan, with the smithy positioned at right angles to the rear.
The structure is one and a half storeys high and has a four-windowed facade. The ground floor features single-light and two-light wooden casements with timber lintels, while the first floor has two-light, 20th-century slate-hung half dormers. The left-hand cottage has a 19th-century plank door at its center, and the right-hand cottage has a four-panelled door with a wrought iron porch.
On the roadside of the smithy, there are stable doors flanked by four-pane casements with timber lintels, and to the left, there are two two-light casements with glazing bars. The smithy retains its forge. The interior of the house has not been inspected.
