History

Erected in the third quarter of the C19 and first shown on the 1871 Ordnance Survey as a single cottage, although the cottage was probably originally intended to be a pair. The earlier attached single-storey cottage was shown on the 1849 Tithe map. The cottages follow a distinctive settlement pattern in Lixwm of placing dwellings at right angles to the road.

Exterior

A 2-storey cottage of limewashed rubble-stone walls, slate roof and central brick rendered stack, with gable stack to the R cut down and replaced by a chimney pot. The house was probably originally intended as a reflected pair of cottages. In the lower storey is a boarded door to the L under wooden lintel, while on the R side is a horizontal sliding sash window in the position of a second intended doorway. Two small-pane fixed windows are between. The upper storey has 2 large-pane horizontal-siding sashes. A lean-to against the L gable end has a boarded door under a brick segmental head. An earlier single storey cottage is against the R gable end.

Interior

Not inspected.
