Description

This pair of cottages, likely converted from a barn in the 19th century, is located on the east side of the Green, about 22 meters southwest of the Cleave Hotel. They are constructed of stone rubble with a layer of cob below the eaves and feature thatched roofs, each with a projecting chimneystack in the gable topped with red brick shafts. The cottages are two storeys high and have a four-window front. Each cottage has a symmetrical façade with a doorway situated between two ground-storey windows. The doors consist of four flush panels, each bordered by raised mouldings, and are topped by a four-pane fanlight. Each cottage has a porch with a thatched pent roof; the left porch is supported by wooden brackets, while the right one is held up by wooden posts. The ground-storey windows are typically two-light wood casements with two panes per sash, except for the left-hand cottage, which features a two-pane wooden sash window on the right. The second-storey windows are also two-light wood casements, but with six panes per light.

The rear wall displays a large blocked opening above ground level, likely the former loading door of the barn, along with two smaller blocked doorways at ground level, both featuring chamfered wood lintels, with at least one having run-out stops. Below the eaves, remnants of a row of pigeon-holes can be seen, framed by pieces of slate with a hole cut in the center. The interiors were not examined, but a report from 1980 on the left-hand cottage noted no features of interest.
