Description
This is a pair of early 19th century brick cottages that have been combined into a single house. They are positioned flush with and next to a pair of early 20th century cottages to the east. The building features a continuous shallow-pitched roof with dentilated eaves and simple end stacks. It is two stories tall with one-window reflected units, although the western unit has had its door bricked up. The ground floor has tripartite windows that are almost flush with the wall, partly leaded, and include a central sliding sash window, with the left window having six panes. The windows and entrance have cambered heads, and there is a contemporary panelled door. The upper floor has smaller tripartite windows, similar to those below, and the steps leading up to the doorway have been replaced.
To the west, there is a rubble outshut with a slate roof and exposed rafter ends, which features a modern wooden garage door. There is also a contemporary 19th century brick extension at the rear with a cambered-headed entrance and later door and windows.
Adjacent to the house, partly adjoining to the south, is a contemporary two-story stone stable block. This stable is constructed of uncoursed sandstone with plain eaves and has two entrances, the right one featuring a stable door. There is a two-light window on the left and a shuttered window on the right at the first floor, all with brick cambered heads.
The uncoursed stone retaining wall to the street, which runs south, is included up to the point where it returns.
