Description
This is an early 19th-century group of three houses, with one now converted into a shop. The buildings are made of painted rubble and feature an old slate roof laid to diminishing courses, along with stone chimneys. On the left, there is a house and shop; the first floor has two windows set at the eaves, with a Yorkshire sash window on the left and a fixed four-pane window on the right. The ground floor on the left has a shop window and a half-glazed door, while the right side features a camber-headed window and a boarded door. To the right, set back, is a three-storey house with a camber-headed entrance door on the left. This house has one window on each floor; the top floor has a small Yorkshire sash window set at the eaves, and the first and second floors have camber-headed windows with sash glazing. There is a stone chimney on the right side. At the rear, the roof slope continues over the ground floor, and there is a corner chimney.
