Pit Cottages

Pair of cottages in simple picturesque idiom. Random rubble of informal polychrome character, with rusticated quoins and Welsh slate roofs. Axial brick stack (rebuilt); decorated barge-boards at front and side gables. A symmetrical pair, with advanced gables at centre, and porches in angle of gable and main range to either side. Porches both have hipped stone tiled roofs, and are timber boarded - vertically to left (no 1), horizontally to right (no 2). Small windows over each porch. Central gables have canted bay windows with stone tiled roofs to ground floor, and 2-light casement windows above with steep arched heads with voussoirs. Windows all have transoms and margin-lights, giving a distinctive decorative effect. Similar windows with voussoirs to arched heads in gable ends. Simpler detail to rear, where there are also later additions.
