Description
Nos. 23 and 25 on North Street are a pair of cottages built in the early 19th century. They are constructed from roughly cut and squared Ham stone. No 23 features a roof covered with concrete pantiles, while No 25 has a clay pantiled roof with a stepped coped north gable and brick chimney stacks. The cottages are two storeys high and consist of three bays. The windows include horizontal bar casements, with a 3-light window in bay 1, a 4-light window in the lower bays 2 and 3, and a 2-light window in the upper bay. All lower windows have timber lintels. To the right of bay 1, there is a boarded door set in a recess with a plain opening beneath a timber lintel. Approximately 3 metres west of the cottages, there are front boundary railings. The railings for No 23 have spearhead rails at the top and middle, with urn finials on the standards, and there is no gate. No 25 features arrowhead railings and also has no gate. The cottages are flanked by coped return stone walls at both ends and between the houses, which contribute to their setting and the overall streetscape.
