Description
Nos. 6 and 7 Forge Row are a pair of single-storey cottages featuring dormers.
No. 7, on the left, has a roughcast facade divided into three bays, with a central door and a window on each side, all from the 20th century. The small window openings are likely close to their original size. It has a steep roof covered with artificial slate, with the eaves interrupted by two 20th-century dormer windows that have catslide roofs. There is a brick gable chimney on the left and a 20th-century lean-to extension at the rear.
No. 6, on the right, has a painted rendered facade that is similar in length to No. 8. The facade has been remodelled in the 20th century, featuring a door on the left and a wide window on the right. The roof is covered with concrete tiles, and like No. 7, it has two 20th-century dormers with low-pitch sloping roofs. There is a rendered gable chimney on the right and a large flat-roofed rear extension from the 20th century.
The original layout of both cottages is hard to determine, but the attics were habitable, as indicated by the presence of chimney stairs. The length of the cottages suggests that there may have been a secondary room on each side of the party wall, which was unheated.
Inside No. 6, the main room on the ground floor features rough stop-chamfered beams. There is an altered fireplace with a modified fireplace stair to the left. The roof contains a single oak truss without a collar and has massive paired purlins. The interior of No. 7 has not been seen but is reported to be modernised.
