1 Concrete Cottages

Nos 1 and 2 Concrete Cottages Pair of double-fronted, 2-unit cottages in rendered concrete under a steeply-pitched slate roof; 2-storeys with gabled stair projections and lean-tos at the rear. Gothick style. Each has a central ridge stack with 4 diagonally-set shafts and corbelled cap. The front has angle pilaster strips, a plat band and moulded architraves. Mullioned and transomed windows (each house has 3-light to L, 4-light to R), with a blind window above the porch. The centrally-placed porches have a cusped arch on moulded capitals and a concrete slab floor. The gable ends have a single 2-light window in the upper storey.

Planked front door with a fixed light inserted. At the rear the lean-to and stair projection were enlarged late C20.

The porch opens into a small entrance lobby. The 2 ground floor rooms formerly had back-to-back fireplaces of which one concrete overmantle survives. The sitting room has a single timber cross-beam with exposed joists. Concrete floor slabs are said to survive beneath modern tiles and carpet. Concrete dog-leg stair. Cast iron T-section rafters support concrete slabs, with slates laid over them. Ledged and battened doors throughout.
