Cadw's description

History

End house of terrace of eight Tudor-style estate cottages apparently altered in construction or later to a coach-house and then altered back to a cottage.

Two small windows under eaves, central one with timber mullion, right one 4-pane, both chamfered with stone sills. Ground floor has window to right with hoodmould for a wider window (perhaps a pair of windows as on Nos 1-2), label at right end only, over a two-light mullion-and-transom window with stone sill. Deep chamfered sides. Centre (aligned slightly right of centre window above) former coach entry with tooled sandstone voussoirs to broad Tudor arch. Later infill of casement pair and square-headed board door in white-painted rubble stone.
