Description
York House and York Cottage are a pair of cottages of differing sizes, built as a single structure in the late 18th century. The building is constructed of brick on a stone plinth, with rendered side walls, and has a slate roof. A substantial brick ridge stack is located to the left of the centre, marking the division between York House on the right and York Cottage on the left. The cottages are two storeys and have an attic, topped with a parapet wall. There are three windows on the front elevation, which are 16-pane sashes with a vermiculated keystone and large voussoirs. The ground floor windows are similar, and include two round-headed brick arch doorcases with a thin stone keystone, shallow radial fanlights, and doors. The door to York Cottage, on the extreme left, has four fielded panels, the lower two being flush. The door to York House, situated between the second and third windows, has six fielded panels. Three cambered-head dormers each contain a pair of 6-pane casements. The rear facade has mostly 20th-century windows within cambered surrounds, and a large flat-roofed dormer spans most of the width.
