Description

This is a row of four houses, incorporating a shop, built in the 15th century, with later additions and alterations in the late 16th, 17th, and early 19th centuries. The houses are constructed of timber framing, squared and dressed limestone, and coursed rubble limestone. The roofs are covered with stone slate and plain tiles.

The Cottage and Tudor Stores have two storeys with an attic, while the rear wing of The Cottage is also two storeys. Britannia Cottage is a two-storey house with a projecting cross wing, and the house at the southern end has an attic to its cross wing.

The front of the row features small square timber framing with close studding to The Cottage and Tudor Stores. The Tudor Stores have a projecting bay window above a 20th-century shop front. Scattered 19th and 20th century casement windows are present. Britannia Cottage has a projecting gable end with single casement windows, and a doorway with a six-panel door. A weatherboarded gablet marks a change in roof height. The house to the right is faced with 19th-century coursed rubble and has a round-arched doorway with a small circular fixed light above. The adjoining house continues the rubble and 19th-century fenestration, including a hipped-roofed porch and bay window. The projecting gable end of the southern cross wing has 20th-century casement windows, with segmental arches above the attic windows.

The north end of the main range has a timber-framed gable with jetties at attic and formerly at upper floor level, featuring moulded bressumers. The ground floor has been rebuilt in rubble limestone with a casement window having a timber lintel. A small framed upper floor and a close-studded attic, each with a single casement window, is also present. A lean-to addition is located to the left.

The rear of The Cottage has a parapet-gabled wing built from very large dressed limestone, possibly dating to the 15th century, with later fenestration. A blocked attic opening with splayed sides appears original. A 17th-century lateral chimney stack is located on the south side of the wing. Various lean-to additions are present on the Tudor Stores, Britannia Cottage, and the adjoining house. Early rubble masonry is visible on the rear of the main range.

The interior of The Cottage retains complete timber framing, including four-centred arched doorways. Britannia Cottage contains remains of five cruck trusses, with one complete blade surviving. Some early painted decoration remains on the timberwork. The house at the south end is largely an early 19th-century rebuilding but may incorporate some earlier structure.
