Description
Nos. 2 and 3 Grove Cottages are a pair of two-storey houses built in the 18th century, facing south with a rear wing on the west end. They are made of rubble stone and covered with slate roofs, featuring roughcast gable ends and stone chimney stacks. There is a shared stack to the left of the center and another stack at the right end. The cottages have raised verges and quoins, and the front showcases Tudor-style mullioned windows with stone quarries, featuring three lights on the ground floor and two lights above. No. 2 is on the right and No. 3 is on the left.
No. 3 has a single window at the front, with a ridge stack to the right (shared with No. 2) and a side stack on the west of the rear wing. The front entrance is located at the west gable end, accessed through a porch that has a gabled roof. The porch is open at the front, supported by a stone lintel, and includes a narrow lancet window with a triangular head, dressed in heavy limestone, on the west side. To the left of the porch in the west gable end, there are two late 20th-century two-light casement windows with shallow segmental heads, one on each storey and offset. At the rear, the east side of the rear wing features a shallow lean-to brick porch with a corrugated roof, containing a door on the left and a small window on the right. To the left of the porch, there is a three-over-three-pane horned sash window in a red brick surround with a shallow segmental head, and a matching window on the first floor.
The porch leads to an entrance in the west gable end, which has a chamfered stone doorway with a flat head. Inside, the principal room features spiral timber stairs in the west gable, while the fireplace in the opposite east wall has been renewed. The floor is made of flagstone, and there is a stone threshold in the doorway leading to the kitchen in the rear wing, indicating that this was likely the original rear door and that the wing was added later.
