Description
Nos. 406, 408 and Barn Cottage on Whitechapel Road are a row of three dwellings and a converted barn, with No. 406 dated 1631 and Barn Cottage dated 1638. The buildings are constructed from deeply coursed hammer dressed stone and feature a stone slate roof. They are two storeys high.
Nos. 406 and 408 were likely originally one dwelling, which had a central chamfered doorway dated E 1631 H. Currently, No. 408, located on the left, has a doorway and altered four-light windows on each floor, both of which are from the 19th century. No. 406 retains its original doorway and has one four-light double chamfered window on each floor, although two mullions have been removed from both windows. There is also a further two-light window on the ground floor with one mullion removed. Both ground floor windows previously had a common hood mould.
Barn Cottage features one four-light double chamfered window on each floor, and to the right is a doorway with a heavily moulded arched lintel dated EH 1638. Adjacent to Barn Cottage is a recently converted barn.
