Description
Three estate cottages built around 1860, these two-storey buildings are constructed of rubble with roughly dressed quoins and feature overhanging eaves. The symmetrical front has six bays, including two gabled projections, and painted windows on the first floor beneath wallhead gablets. Some original casement glazing with lying-panes remains, along with later four-pane sash windows. The cottages have a slated roof, and there is an entry at the rear in a single-storey outshot.
