Description
This is a row of three cottages dating from the 17th century. They are timber-framed with brick infill, with a whitewashed appearance and a rendered gable end. The roof is covered in asbestos slate, with brick stacks positioned centrally and at the rear corner of the right-hand gable. The cottages are one storey high with an attic. They have three bays, arranged irregularly. The ground floor features a barred window to the left, a pair of barred casements in the centre, and a pair of 20th-century metal casements to the right. Dormers on the left-hand bays have paired casements. Two entrances are located to the rear.
