40 and 41, Village Street

Nos 40 and 41 on Village Street are a pair of cottages built around 1800, with a 20th-century alteration to No 41. They are constructed from squared limestone, featuring a brick eaves course and irregular hammered quoins, topped with a pantile roof that has partly rebuilt brick stacks. Each cottage has a central-entry plan and is two stories high with a four-window front. No 40, on the left, has 2-light, 24-pane horizontal sliding sashes throughout. No 41 has a 2-light, 24-pane horizontal sliding sash on the ground floor to the right, while the remaining windows are 2-light, small-pane casements. All windows have painted stone sills, and the ground-floor openings feature painted tooled wedge lintels, with painted timber lintels above the first-floor windows. At the rear, both cottages have single-storey lean-to outbuildings and feature end and centre stacks.
