Description
Two houses and a barn, likely dating to the 17th or early 18th century. The buildings are constructed of roughcast stone, with a slate roof. The cottages are two storeys high and five bays wide. The windows are casements; those in the first two bays have timber lintels, while those on the ground floor of the fourth and fifth bays have slate label moulds. There are two entrances, each with a gabled porch. The barn has doors set under a cat slide pentice. A cow house to the left has two doors, one wide, with a gabled pitching hole. The barn features gable-end and cross-axial chimney stacks. The rear of the buildings has casement windows. The cow house includes a three-light wooden chamfered-mullioned window, a similar four-light window where the central mullion is missing, and a two-light stair window. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
