These three cottages of single-room depth are late 17th- or early 18th-century, but altered probably in the late 19th century. They are of rubble, with a gable-ended slate roof. The ground floor comprised fish cellars, with the main entry at first-floor level at the rear. Inserted into the roof are four raking dormers and two 20th-century shaped dormers.
