Description
Avery House and Osborne Cottage are a pair of cottages, likely built in the mid 18th century, with some alterations. The walls are finished with incised render on stone, and they have a pantiled roof featuring a brick stack, stone coping, and a kneeler. Each cottage is two storeys tall and has one wide bay.
Avery House features a four-panel door located under a bracketed cornice hood. It has early 20th-century four-pane sash windows, with projecting sills, on both floors to the right. Osborne Cottage has a four-panel door beneath a pedimented bracketed hood on the right side. To the left, there is a 20th-century three-light casement window below an early 19th-century six-pane sash, both with wide stone sills. The cottages have a moulded eaves cornice and share a central stack, with coping and a kneeler at the left end.
The rear elevation shows that Osborne Cottage has a one-storey section with an attic dormer. Avery House features a boarded door and a small sash window high up on the left side. Osborne Cottage has a four-panel door and a modern casement window that has been inserted. There is also a small pent projection at the right of Avery House, which is not considered of special interest.
