'COTTAGES (12451328), two adjacent, of two storeys with brick walls and tiled roofs, were built in 1709. The building was originally a single dwelling, with a class-T plan. The S. front was symmetrical and of three bays, with a first-floor plat-band, square-headed casement windows in both storyes and a central doorway; a date-stone is set over the central doorway. For conversion into two tenements a doorway was inserted on the E. of the central opening. Inside, the two ground-floor rooms have chamfered beams with ogee stops. The original stairs are on the S. of the E. chimneybreast.'
