Description
This is a pair of early 19th-century houses, one of which is now a betting shop. They are built of roughcast stone with a hipped roof covered in Welsh slate. The east-facing elevation is two storeys high and two bays wide. The ground floor features canted bay windows with flat roofs and small-paned fixed glazing, with some boarding to the first bay. The first floor has small-paned, pivoted casement windows. A half-glazed door provides the entrance. A lateral stack is located at the north end of the building. The west elevation contains a pivoted casement to the north end, a casement and a half-glazed entrance door to the south end, and a first-floor window with small-paned fixed glazing alongside an opening light. Further casements are present on the south end.
