Description
These are two picturesque cottages, built in the 19th century, situated at right angles to each other to form a general T-shaped plan, but with gabled projections on each side to create an irregular appearance. They are constructed of brick with freestone dressings, with timber framing in the upper storey featuring cross bracing. The roofs are steep and tiled, with cusped barge boards and finials to the main elevations; rebuilt brick stacks replaced original stacks that had barley-twist shafts.
No. 1 has an asymmetrical two-window front. A central porch stands on a dwarf wall, featuring twisted posts and an open gable with a castellated tie beam. The front door is heavily studded and set within a Tudor-headed surround. To the left is a two-light mullioned window, and to the right a similar three-light window below a two-light wood-framed window with a metal casement, both under a gable. The left gable end is particularly ornate, with a canted two-light bay window under a deep lean-to canopy on brackets. Above this is a shallow three-light oriel window under a similar canopy, and further decorative timber framing, including cusped X-shaped and circular panels. A two-window rear wing extends to the rear, and retains leaded glazing in the upper storey windows, with a half-glazed door facing the yard behind No. 2.
No. 2 has its gable end facing the road, with an entrance in the right-hand side wall. An external red sandstone stack is visible on the left side wall, facing the entrance to No. 1. The stack has lighter freestone quoins and a brick shaft, and displays a stone shield inscribed with 'PLG' in raised letters above a scroll bearing '1854' in relief. The gable end features a three-light mullioned window in the lower storey incorporating casements, a jettied upper storey, and a canted two-light oriel window beneath an ornate gable. The right-hand side wall has a lower brick projection with an asymmetrical gable, incorporating an open porch on the left side. This porch has shaped timber posts on plain brick bases, and a boarded front door with studded bands. To its right are a replacement window and a half-glazed panel door, with a two-light casement window above. The rear gable end retains a two-light window with diamond-leaded glazing in the upper storey, and a replacement two-light casement below.
