Description
Terrace of four houses built down the slope of the west bank of the Dene. The middle two cottages were built first and adapted from earlier structures. The end two cottages were built c.1850. The terrace backs onto Moor Crook Letch, a tributary of the Ouse Burn. The terrace is stone built with a slate roof and bay windows at ground floor. The window detailing has been altered and rooflights have been added. There have been numerous additions to the rear. One cottage received a North East Civic Trust "House, Cottage and Garden" Award in 1991 for well designed and sympathetic improvements and restoration works.
