Description

Cherrywood and Littlegate are a pair of cottages dating from the late 17th century, with later extensions. They feature rendered granite rubble walls and a thatched roof that is gabled on the right side and half-hipped on the left. Each cottage has two rendered stone stacks with drip-moulds at the gable ends, although the left-hand stack is now positioned on the axial stack.

Littlegate, the right-hand cottage, has one heated room with direct entry and a 20th-century extension. Cherrywood has direct entry into a heated room, with an additional room beyond, which may be a later extension. The cottages are two storeys high and have an asymmetrical three-window front. The windows are two-light late 19th-century casements with glazing bars, while the centre right window on the first floor is a single light. To the left, there is a 20th-century plank door. On the right side, there are two doorways under a single lean-to slate roofed porch, providing access to each cottage through a 20th-century plank door. Cherrywood features slate drip-moulds above the ground floor windows.

On the left-hand gable end, there is a canted three-light bay window supported on wooden brackets, with two casement windows on the first floor—one light to the left and two lights to the right. Littlegate has a two-storey 20th-century extension attached to and set back from the right gable end. The interior of Littlegate includes one substantial cross beam that is roughly chamfered with no stops. The roof space has not been inspected.
