Row of 4 cottages c.1800, probably built for William Mellish. Red brick with a pantile roof, hipped to the left, with brick and render coped gable and kneelers to the right. 3 brick ridge stacks and 2 brick gable stacks. 2 storeys, 1st floor band and dentillated eaves. Allendale is set on a plinth and slightly projects. Off centre doorway with panelled door and C20 segmental hood over. To the left is a single casement with arched Gothic cast iron glazing bars and to the right 2 similar casements, with 3 similar casements above. Clare Cottage has a central doorway with half glazed door, having arched Gothic glazing bars, flanked by single similar casements. Above 2 similar casements. Ivy Cottage has a central doorway with panelled door and projecting pedimented hood supported on flat wooden piers. Either side are single similar casements, with 2 similar casements above. Park Cottage has a central doorway with C20 door, flanked by single C20 replacement casements with tracery following the pattern of the other 3 cottages and 2 similar C20 casements above. Recent restoration work at Allendale has revealed evidence of internal timber framins. This suggests that all these cottages were probably originally constructed at the end of the C16, and later clad in brick c.1800. (NCC/js)
