Full Description

A row of three late 18th century cottages, constructed of coursed limestone rubble with pantile roofs and two gable stacks. The structures are single storey with a seven-bay front, but with the left hand cottage slightly taller. The lower cottages have off-centre planked doors, flanked by single blocked openings with beyond two further blocked openings all with splayed stone segmental heads. One of these blocked openings was originally a door to the central cottage. The taller cottage has a planked door and blocked window both with timber lintels. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate entry in the National Heritage List for England. {1}{2} The cottages were in a rather derelict state at the time of listing (1985), but have since been repaired, with the original central cottage now incorporated into the left-hand one, to form two dwellings. The roof has been replaced with new pantiles, and there are now two dormer windows, one to each to each dwelling. {3}
