A pair of south facing cottages, part of an attractive group of stone-built cottages. They originated as a three cell, cross-passage house in the 17th century, with a rear stair turret agains the rear stack. The original roof timbers still survive. A one-up, one-down extension was added at the west end and an outshut to the rear c.1800. The extension was one cottage and the house itself divided into two. Three dwellings are recorded on the Chichester Estate map compiled in the 1820s. Further alterations took place in the late 19th and early 20th century and in the 1930s a staircase was inserted in the cross-passage and the rear stair turret went out of use, the lower section being removed. The western extension was no longer in use as a separate dwelling by this time.
