Cottage 2, Sluie Mains

Sluie Mains Cottage 1 is an early 19th century, single-storey terrace consisting of five symmetrical cottages, each with three bays, facing west. The building is constructed of rubble with tooled and polished ashlar dressings. Each cottage features a central door flanked by windows, with the wider central cottage slightly advanced and having a further advanced central door. All doors and windows are sheltered by stone canopies; the door canopies are supported by ashlar pendant brackets, while the window canopies have a steeper pitch. The windows have lattice-pane casements, except for a later window inserted in a blocked door in the second cottage from the left (north).

The door and window openings have wide chamfers, and all angles are also chamfered with run-off stops at the wallhead. Each dwelling has a single rear door, which is masked at the center by a later timber extension. The roof features coped ridge stacks, with one original hexagonal stack still surviving, and has a piended slate covering.

Inside, the cottages have a simple two-room plan, with each room containing a bed recess.
