Reeves and Part Reeves. 2 cottages, formerly a single house. Late 17C-early 18C, divided and modernised in 19C. Plastered cob on rubble footings; cob and rubble stacks topped with 20C brick; mostly thatch, partly slate roof. Pair of cottages facing north. Reeves at right (west) end is a T-shaped building comprising 1 room with rear corner stack in main block and 2 rooms at right end under wide roof on same axis as main block. Rear room once had rear kitchen stack. Part Reeves at left (east) end is a 2-room plan cottage comprising a larger right room served by axial stack in party wall and left room made out of former carriageway. Early 20C service extension to rear. 2 storeys. Irregular fenestration. Main block has overall 5 ground and 3 first floor windows of late 19C and 20C casements, the older ones with glazing bars. The 2 ground floor right windows (to Reeves) are horned large-pane sashes with glazing bars, the right one blocking site of former door. Early 20C 4-panel door and window at left end (Part Reeves) occupy front arch of former carriageway and 20C iron-framed casement to right blocks former doorway. Slate-roofed right end of reeves projects into street with 20C door in the side and, on the front, a first floor 16-pane sash and ground floor 12-pane former shop window with timber architrave which includes simple pilasters with capitals. Interiors: both show mainly results of 19C and 20C modernisations. All fireplaces have 20C grates and large kitchen fireplace has been demolished. No beams are exposed. In Part Reeves a cupboard alongside the fireplace hides blocked doorway showing that 2 cottages were once connected. The only evidence of late 17C-early 18C origins is another cupboard in Part Reeves, its panelled door hung on H-hinges with trefoil ends. Roof not inspected.
