Description
The Central Wash-House is a row of seven cottages and a communal wash-house, built in the early 19th century for workers at a nearby malthouse, which has mostly disappeared. The cottages are rendered and feature a slate roof with decorative ridge tiles and six brick ridge stacks, three of which are paired. The structure is a single range with a rear outshut, consisting of one storey and an attic. It includes two gable dormers with paired casements and one paired casement and one single casement on the ground floor. The central gabled porch is adorned with fishscale slates, a finial, and a bargeboard. The terrace has seen very few alterations, with most of the original boarded doors still intact. Number 2 has extended and glazed the porch but has maintained the gable line.
