Cadw's description
Location
Above the lane that leads from Cresswell Quay to Cresselly, on the edge of the settlement.
History
Both houses are shown on the Jeffreyston Tithe Map of 1846, marked as belonging to the Cresselly Estate. No 1 was a farm cottage tied to the farmstead of Henry Phelps (now Cresselly House). Census returns reveal that its occupant between 1841 and 1871 was John Llewellyn, agricultural labourer, and family, and from 1881-1901, George Lewis, also an agricultural labourer, and family. Census returns show the Philips family as tenants of No 2 from 1841-1901. The family were cobblers, and in later years, the detached cottage in front of the dwelling was used as a cobblers shop. Later tenants were Mr and Mrs John Scourfield. A further cottage below No 2 was demolished c1870.
Exterior
Pair of cottages. No 1 (to the left) is single storeyed, long 2-unit plan. Lime rendered and with slate roof with gable end stacks. Detail modernised (windows have concrete sills). No 2 also has 2-unit plan, but is a low 2 storeys. Roughcast with slate roof and end wall stacks. Near-central doorway with part-glazed door, flanked by 4-pane sash windows. 3 similar but smaller windows immediately beneath eaves above.
Interior
No 2 retains traditional layout. No 1 not seen.
Reason for designation
Listed as a pair of small vernacular cottages which together form a group with The Old Cobblers Shop. No 2 retains good traditional character; No 1 is an integral part of the group, and a surviving example of a single storey cottage, notwithstanding loss of detail.
