50 Mount Street

This is a terrace of three cottages dating from the mid-19th century, built in a vernacular Gothic style. They are located on Mount Street and form a group with numbers 48, 50, and 52. The cottages are constructed of squared, roughly dressed blocks of local stone, with slate dressings. They have a continuous, renewed slate roof with tiled ridges and three large stone chimneys with simple caps. Numbers 50 and 52 are identical two-window cottages, while number 48 is also a two-window unit, but projects slightly and has a broad, shallow gable with oversailing verges and eaves, and plain modern bargeboards. The central entrances have modern doors on numbers 48 and 50, while number 52 retains its original 19th-century six-panel door with glazed central panels. Numbers 50 and 52 have triangular-headed entrances and flanking windows, each with projecting slate labels and simple triangular fans. The windows are largely 20th-century casements with two panes, and those on the upper floor break the eaves and sit within shallow gabled dormers; all have triangular overlights. Number 48 has square-headed windows with 20th-century glazing, which consists of triple-tilting upper sections above plain lower sections, and features a triangular-headed niche at the gable apex. The interior was not inspected.
