A good group of buildings, small but concentrated close to the T-junction at the northern end of the Conservation Area, has a mixture of red brick and slate as well as cob on stone footings with mostly plain thatch. South-west of the junction is an especially good group with an intricate layout having several different frontage alignments. Other details: Maps, photograph.

Cottage. 18th and 19th century, C20 additions. Plastered cob and stone rubble; stone rubble stacks topped with 19th and 20th century brick; thatch roof to the oldest part, the rest is slate. Plan: two-room plan cottage on a north - south axis. In fact the southern end room is the oldest part, a probably 18th century one-room plan cottage facing north with a rear lateral stack. In the 19th century an extension was built onto the former front and the new house turned to face east. The extension included the main stair and a room to right with gable-end stack. In the 20th century a lean-to outshot was added onto the east of the 18th century cottage section; this is now Corner Stores and outshots to rear of the 19th century extension is now Silhouettes. Main house is two storeys. Exterior: is most irregular. The exposed front of the house has a two-window front of 19th and 20th century casements with glazing bars with front doorway to left containing a 20th century panelled door. The 19th century extension slate roof is gable-ended and the thatch roof of the older part is like a crossing to left and hipped both ends. Interior: not inspected. This irregular arrangement of buildings complement a group of thatch-roofed cottages close by to west.
