1-8, Piel Island

This is a terrace of eight cottages built in 1875 for the Duke of Buccleuch. The cottages feature scored stucco and a graduated slate roof. They are two storeys high and have eight windows on the first floor arranged in a rhythm of 1:1:2:2:1:1. The design is symmetrical, with a gabled center and crosswings at each end. Notable architectural features include a plinth, projecting stone sills, and mostly six-pane sash windows.

There are three double porches, each with two narrow three-pane casements beneath gables that have shaped, pierced bargeboards and finials, along with boarded doors on each return. The left crosswing has a side porch styled similarly, while the side porch on the right crosswing has been demolished. The central gable displays the date and the monogram 'BQ' within a crowned Belt of the Garter, above the motto 'AMO'. Both the central gable and the left crosswing gable feature decorative bargeboards and finials.

The building has four rendered ridge stacks, although the one on the right is incomplete. The right crosswing (No. 1) has only been partially refurbished after a fire. Plans submitted in 1874 show different details, including three flush gables and alternative porch designs.
