Description

A range of four dwellings and an outbuilding, dated 1836. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with a stone slate roof. It comprises a cottage at the left end, followed by two houses, and then an outbuilding to the right. The cottage has plain stone surrounds to its openings, a 20th-century four-panel door, and a single bay of sash windows. It features a shaped kneeler and an end stack to the left. A single-storey stable and outbuilding projects from the gable end towards the road. The first house has two first-floor windows, a central doorway with a 20th-century four-panel door and decorative timber porch, sash-like casement windows, and end stacks. The second house has one first-floor window, a doorway with a plain stone surround featuring a lintel panel inscribed 'J B 1836', a 20th-century glazed door, and a 20th-century bay window on the ground floor. The first-floor window has a sash-like casement in a plain stone surround, with a roundel on its lintel. The cottage at the right end has a boarded door in a stone surround with herring-bone tooling and three roundels on the lintel. It features a four-pane fixed-light window in a stone surround with herring-bone tooling and a roundel on the lintel on the ground floor, and a 20th-century casement window on the first floor. The outbuilding to the right has a four-pane fixed-light window on the ground floor, and a 20th-century casement on the first floor. To the right of the outbuilding are stable and garage doors, above which are two 20th-century casement windows.
