Description
Nos 68 and 70 Sherborne are a pair of semi-detached cottages, originally divided into three, dating from the 18th century and altered in the 19th century. They are constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone, topped with a stone slate roof, and feature ashlar stacks, with one stack from the 20th century that imitates ashlar. The cottages have an 'L'-shaped plan and stand one and a half storeys tall.
No 68 has a two-light wood casement window with a gablet above it, while the north front includes two-light casements and two plank doors. Other windows consist of single light, two-light, and three-light casements. There is a 20th-century two-light dormer at the eaves of the projecting wing to the right. The ground floor features a three-light stone-mullioned casement and a two-light stone-mullioned casement in the right-hand return. A 19th-century plank door is set within a lattice-work porch. The cottages have gable-end and axial stacks. This property is owned by the National Trust.
