The 2004 Conservation Area appraisal for Allerford states "At the crossroads is another late 19th century mirrored pair of estate cottages; Four Ways and Forge Cottage. These are typical of the period, again roughcast rendered under a slate roof with a central brick stack. There are timber casement windows throughout with segmental arched openings on the ground floor. Each cottage is flanked by a wing with lowered ridge, and a pent roofed porch."
