Three cottages, probably the remants of one or two former farmhouses linked to form a single range. C17 with later additions. Cob and stone covered with roughcast. Thatched roof, half-hipped at right-hand end; the right hand half of No. 1 is a later addition, built straight on to the thatched half-hipped roof of original building (visible in roof-space). Chimneystack on ridge in centre of range has a thick rendered base, probably of stone, on right, with added rendered brick shaft above; on left, a rendered brick shaft, probably a later addition. In left-hand gable of No. 3 is a chimneystack with thick rendered base and a rendered shaft, probably a later addition. In left-hand gable of No. 3 is a chimneystack with thick rendered base, probably of stone, on right, with added rendered brick shaft above; on left, a rendered brick shaft, probably a later addition. In left-hand gable of No.3 is a chimneystack with thick rendered base and a rendered, shaft, probably a brick addition, above. No. 2, together with left-hand half of No. 1, probably formed a detached house of 2-room lobby-entry plan originally. The left- hand half of No. 3 seems to have been a detached building of C17, later linked to No. 2; it now has only one ground-storey room with stack in left-hand gable, but in view of the quality of its fireplace detail it may originally have extended farther to the left. 2 storeys, with single-storey additions at rear, and at left- hand end. 5-window front. The centre building, comprising No. 2 and the left-hand half of No. 1, is 2 widely-spaced windows wide. In the centre of the ground storey is a metal-framed C20 window, formerly the doorway (local information) to the lobby entry. To left is a C20 glazed door. To right a late C19 or early C20 wood casement of 2 lights, each of 8 panes. In second storey 2 wood casements with gables above, the thatch swept over them; left-hand casement has 2 plain lights, right-hand casement matches the one below in ground storey and has a wooden board over it inscribed 1764 in old lettering. Right-hand side of No. 1, set back slightly, had C20 plank door divided into upper and lower sections. To right a small 4-pane wood casement window. No second-storey windows, but in gable a wood casement window of 2 lights, each with 6 panes. No. 3 is 2 windows wide. C20 glazed door off-centre to right approached by flight of 4 old granite steps; C20 thatched porch on 2 wooden poles. To left of it a C19 wood casement of 3 lights, each light with 3 panes. To right a C20 wood casement of 6 panes with transom- light. 2 second-storey C19 wood casement windows of 2 lights, each light of 2 panes. Interiors: No. 1 has fireplace in left-hand ground-storey wall with chamfered wood lintel (stops mutilated) and plain granite jambs. Newel staircase to right of it, beside chimneystack. 2 cupboards with good C19 panelled doors and original metal fittings. Roof structure of older part, designed for thatch, has no principal rafters nor even pairs of common rafters; each common rafter is supported by a strut, the thatch being carried on thick spars laid across the rafters. No. 3 has thick battered wall between its 2 rooms in ground and second storeys. Right- hand wall of right-hand ground-storey room is of cob on a heavy battered stone plinth, and is probably the original gable-end of the lobby-entry house. In left- hand ground-storey room in gable is a large fireplace with chamfered wood lintel having scroll-stops with 2 notches. Roof, probably C19, has common rafters without principals. No. 2 not inspected.
