This pair of cottages carry a datestone marking a restoration of 1890, although the core is probably 18th century. They are of coursed rubble with a slate roof in which are set three gabled dormers. The ground floors may have been fish cellars. There is a first-floor balcony with cast-iron latticework balustrade. No. 58 is said to have been a beer-house called 'The Jolly Sailor'.
