Pairs of semi-detached cottages, each converted to two
dwellings. Early C19. Later additions at rear. Rubble in
courses with dressed stone details, slate roof, two gable-end
stacks rebuilt in brick and a central ridge stack of coursed
rubble. A single depth, mirror-image pair with rear wings.

symmetrical unit; dressed stone quoins to the outer corners.
On the ground floor the two entrance doorways have
Tudor-arched heads enclosing fanlights with Gothic glazing
bars and decoratively panelled wood doors, replaced to No.29A;
on the inner side of each doorway a two-light stone mullioned
window and on the outer side a similar three-light window, all
the lights with Tudor-arched heads; on the first floor, above
each doorway, a pointed-arched two-light stone mullioned
window with Y-tracery, windows to either side repeat the

lights have cast-iron casements with glazing bays (2x4 panes
and Y-tracery heads); all the door and window openings have
eared hoodmoulds. Windows to No.27 replaced, except stone
Y-tracery to first-floor central windows.
In each of the gable-end walls a single-light window on both
floors and two similar windows to the attic all with flat
lintel heads and cast-iron casements with glazing bars (3x2
panes).
