Kirkland Cottage Kirkland House Midtown Cottage

Kirkland Cottage, Kirkland House, and Midtown Cottage are three houses dated 1666, as inscribed above the left entrance. They have undergone 19th and 20th-century alterations. The buildings feature painted roughcast over sandstone rubble walls resting on large projecting plinth stones, and they have a graduated greenslate roof with 19th-century yellow brick chimney stacks. Each house has two storeys and two bays, except for Kirkland Cottage, which is a single bay, all under a common roof. Midtown Cottage has a 20th-century door in a rebated surround beneath a shaped, dated, and inscribed lintel. Kirkland House features a four-panel top-glazed door within a painted stone architrave, while Kirkland Cottage has a 20th-century door in a cement surround. All houses have sash windows in early 19th-century enlarged surrounds, with some lintels showing signs of removed stone mullions. Kirkland Cottage is included for group value only.
