Exterior
History: The building forms a pair of estate cottages for the Powis Estate; the layout and detailing suggests an early C19 date, but this may represent the remodelling of an earlier building: the constructional detailing (which includes some structural timberwork), suggests a C18 origin.

Slate roofs. 2 storeys, 2-window central range, running between slightly advanced outer gabled wings. Doorways in the re-entrant angle of each wing...
