Interior: very unaltered with original joinery and carpentry. C20 grates may conceal the original fireplaces. The right hand cottage has symmetrical cupboards with plank doors and strap hinges on either side of the fireplace, original first floor floorboards, and a tiled floor to the principal ground floor room. The centre and right hand cottages preserve the original stair with timber treads and risers. Interior of no 18 not inspected but said to be similar. Although these properties are modest in scale and detail they are rare examples of small scale village vernacular cottages of the region in a very unaltered condition (doe).
