Cast-iron rainwater goods (some replacement rainwater goods, c.1960-c.2000). Rendered and roughcast walls. Painted. Square-headed openings (some remodelled, c.1960-c.2000). Stone sills (concrete sills to remodelled openings). Rendered surrounds to some openings. Replacement timber and uPVC casement windows, c.1960-c.2000. Replacement glazed timber doors, c.1960-c.2000.

This group of small-scale terraced cottages is of considerable interest, flanking the approach road into the village from the south-west and following the gradient of the hill. Individually renovated in the late twentieth century the cottages have lost of much of their early features and materials although the original form remains intact in some instances. Important salient features that survive include early natural slate roofs and cast-iron rainwater goods (one cottage retains the sash boxes from its early window fittings, with timber casement windows inserted). The terrace is of social and historic interest, representing the modest-scale dwellings of the majority of the population of the village and it is probable that the cottages were originally built to serve the former woollen mills, located to south-east (11820044/KD-29-20-44).
