Description
589 Inver Cottages in Lochinver is an earlier 19th century single-storey terrace of estate cottages, originally consisting of three 3-bay dwellings but now comprising two. The cottages are built of coursed rubble with painted tooled margins. Each dwelling features a central door flanked by windows, although the middle door has been blocked and converted into a window. The cottages have lattice pane casements and paired coped diamond stacks at both ends and on the ridge, which are set on square bases. The roof is slate with deep eaves.
