Summary

1 and 2 higher woodland cottages (formerly listed as higher woodland farmhouse). Pair of cottages, formerly a farmhouse occupied for several generations by the culling family. Early c16 or possibly earlier with c18 or c19 additions at no 2. Asbestos slate roof, with corrugated iron on the brick addition. L-shaped, the main range (now no 2) having a 3 room and through passage plan with the kitchen wing (now no 1) at right angles to the inner room; the plan is unusual in that the room below the passage seems to have been a parlour.
