5 Dovecot Cottages, Kelloe House

5 Dovecot Cottages, Kelloe House, is a pair of cottages built in the later 19th century or early 20th century, with some later alterations and additions. They are single storey with an attic and feature a symmetrical design with a total of four bays. The cottages are constructed from roughly squared whinstone and sandstone rubble, accented with stugged ashlar stop-chamfered sandstone dressings, and have brick flush segmental relieving arches above each opening. The corners are marked by flush ashlar quoins.

On the south elevation, the two central bays are advanced and gabled, each with a bipartite window and a similar window in the gablehead. The flanking bays contain tripartite windows. There are lean-to wings set back on each outer side, each featuring a boarded door facing south.

The east and west elevations are identical, each having two windows at the ground level of the lean-to wing and a bipartite window in the gablehead above.

The north elevation includes a single storey lean-to addition made of rubble with stugged dressings on each cottage's inner bays, featuring a boarded door with a glazed upper panel on each inner return. There is also a later harled addition to each outer bay.

The cottages have timber sash and case windows on the south, east, and west elevations, with plate glass in the lower case and a four-pane upper case. The rear features a variety of windows. The roof is covered with slate and has two modern brick ridge stacks situated between the inner and outer bays, with exposed rafters at the eaves.

The interior was not seen in 1996.

The garden wall and railings consist of a roughly squared and stugged sandstone wall topped with concrete coping, accompanied by simple cast-iron railings with orb-headed uprights and square-plan, pyramidal-headed gatepiers.
