Description
This is a block of five cottages built in two phases, with datestones indicating construction in 1814 and 1819. They were created for the Norcliffe Estate. The cottages are made of hammer-dressed limestone and feature a stone slate roof. The design includes two pairs of cottages and one later addition on the right side. The buildings are two storeys high and have five first-floor windows. Each cottage has a six-fielded-panel door with glazed upper panels and round-arched windows. The first floor features two-light Yorkshire sash windows. The datestones are obscured by climbing plants. The roof is hipped to the right, and there are stacks at the left end and along the ridge.
