Description
Farm Fold Cottages is a terrace of four cottages, originally five, built around 1860 for Robert Hyde Greg. The cottages are constructed from yellow brick in an English bond pattern, with a roof made of Welsh and green slate, and feature three brick chimneys. The building is 1½ stories high and has a nine-bay front. The windows on the ground floor are four-light wood mullioned windows with stone sills, and there are five board doors, four of which have lean-to hoods supported by wooden brackets. Above, there are four dormers with planted timber; the two end dormers are gabled while the others have a raking design, and all contain three-light casements. Some blue brick diapering is present in the gables. Notably, No. 19 was built to house the sub post office, which accounts for the additional door. The former No. 23 is now incorporated into the terrace. The cottages are listed for their group value.
