Description

The Conifers is a 18th century, two-storey building with a four-window front. The ground floor is made of whitewashed stone, while the first floor features a timber-framed square panel design with rendered infill, which is only visible on No 12; the timber frame of No 11 is behind the rendering. The building has a slate roof, which was originally thatched, and narrow eaves. There is a painted brick chimney stack. The windows are widely spaced, two-light casements of varying sizes. The central entrance to No 12 has a studded door that aligns with the chimney stack. No 11 has a later projecting porch, and there are lean-tos on both the left and right gable ends.
