Description
This is a terrace of three cottages dating from the 17th century, which were altered and extended in the 18th century, with further modifications made around 1900. The cottages are constructed of random rubble with ashlar quoins and some rendered areas at the rear. They feature a slate roof with a stone ridge and two brick ridge stacks that were rebuilt around 1900. The stack on the right has a boldly corbelled brick cornice and recessed angles, while the left stack has lost its cornice.
The terrace is two storeys high and faces a forecourt to the right of the Field Inn. The right-hand end cottage is a later addition, joined straight onto the original gable end of the terrace. The left-hand cottage has a boarded door to the left, a loft door above, and a sash window to the right, along with a two-light casement window with a stone mullion on the first floor. There is also a blocked doorway with an inset casement on the ground floor to the right. The central cottage features a doorway to the left and a two-light casement to the right, with two two-light stone mullioned windows on the first floor that have 19th or 20th-century casements. The right-hand cottage has a doorway to the left, a casement to the right, and a two-light stone mullioned window with 20th-century casements. All 19th-century casements include glazing bars. The windows and doors have heavy stone flush frames under relieving arches.
At the rear, there are two dormers with timber-framed gables added around 1900, along with several casements in stone frames similar to those on the front. The right-hand bay features a 17th-century three-light mullioned window, which has had its mullions removed and the sill cut down for a doorway, and a similar three-light window with ovolo mullions above on the first floor, both of which have eaved hoodmoulds. The interior has not been inspected.
