4/72 The Cottages and garden wall
24.6.75
GV II
House and row of 4 cottages (formerly 5). Earliest part is mid C18 (the southern most house and its neighbour), the rest probably late C18 to early C19. Brick throughout with Welsh slate roofs, although 1 roof has been replaced by modern tiles. All are 2-storeyed, the southern most house being the tallest building in the row, with doorway to left and 2 3-light casements with transoms and lower opening lights, flush framed and with cambered brick heads. 1 bay to left also belongs to this cottage although it reads with the next as a 3 bay arrangement with doorway flanked by 3-light casements with very deep cambered brick heads with keystones to ground floor. Moulded brick sill band continues across the southern most house. The rest of the row is lower, brick with some dark headers, each cottage 2-storeyed, a single or 2 unit plan with cambered heads to lower openings: doorways and 2-light casement windows, some renewed, but 1 retains original door in moulded wood architrave. Gable end stacks. A brick garden wall is attached to the southern most property and beyond this a length of mud wall runs east-west, with slate copings and cobble plinth.
