Appraisal
This pair of small-scale terraced cottages is of considerable interest, flanking the approach road into the village from the south-west and following the gradient of the hill. Well-maintained, both cottages retain their original form and important salient features including timber sash fenestration and a shared slate roof. The pair of cottages is of social and historic interest, representing the modest-scale dwellings of the majority of the population of the village and it is probable that the cottages were originally built to serve the former woollen mills, located to south-east (11820044/KD-29-20-44).
