Row of 3 cottages. C17-early C18 and late C18. Coursed squared

stone, brick and artificial stone stack. No 32 at centre of row
probably built first, No 31 subsequently added to east gable end,
No 33 added in late C18 to west gable end. Lean-to store at gable
end of No 31 and C20 lean-to at rear of No 33 not of special
interest. No 31 and 32 two storeys. Combined garden front of all
3 properties, 4-windowed with 2-light stone-mullioned casements to
first floor and 2 and 3-light stone-mullioned casements to ground
floor. All windows with horizontal glazing bars. Projecting bread
oven left of lower right-hand window. Low blocked doorway with
timber lintel towards right gable end of No 31. C19 plank door
to No 32 within corrugated iron gabled porch. Rear wall (facing
road); 2 low doorways with timber lintels (now blocked) to No 32.

Blocked doorway with timber lintel and 2-light wooden casement to
No 33. Entrance to No 33 via gable end; central plank door within
corrugated-iron porch with double-chamfered single-light left.

and lateral (brick) stack. Low doorways into rear of No 31 suggest
it was possibly originally used for agricultural purposes and
subsequently converted. Interiors not inspected.
