Description
Heathery Lane Cottages are shown (though not named) as a single block on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map on the northern side of the junction between Heathery Lane and Salter's Lane, within a small enclosure. Later maps show another building to the north (rear) of the cottages, which are shown as two dwellings each with a small garden area, enclosed by a larger area depicted as an orchard.
The cottages are built in randomly coursed sandstone ashlar with finely dressed quoins, window surrounds and cills, and a slate roof. An extension has been added at the western end in uncoursed squared rubble.
