Description
Two cottages in rubble masonry with a Welsh slate roof. The terrace was converted into community homes for the mentally ill in 1985. Dates to before the middle of the 19th century. The windows have been replaced with chunky uPVC and there are modern glazed doors. There is a large green front garden set behind a beech hedge. A stone wall with triangular copes survives to one side. The rustic character has been eroded by a tarmac drive to the side and rear. The recent porches are neat additions.
