What is recorded here

Semi-detached three-bay two-storey building, c.1830, originally two separate buildings and now containing two dwellings. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered base course. Replacement uPVC windows with stone sills in widened openings. Pair of uPVC doors in widened opening. Pitched slate roof, hipped to corner, with parapet having stone coping. Rendered chimney stacks. Cast-iron gate and railings on plinth wall to street. Rubble stone outbuilding to rere.

An unusual, intriguing building, comprising two related and interconnected structures on a corner site. Though altered, it retains its street railings, and complements the more intact neighbouring house and the village in general.
