Description
A group of six cottages, known as 1, 2, 2A, 3, 4, and 5 The Row, was built in the early 19th century and has undergone alterations and extensions to the rear in the late 20th century. The cottages are primarily constructed of red brick with brick dressings; however, the central pair feature stone lintels and sills.
The cottages are arranged in a symmetrical linear layout consisting of three pairs. The central pair has two bays, while the flanking ranges each have four bays. Each pair is accompanied by a single-bay service wing set back from the rear elevation.
Each pair of cottages has a hipped roof covered with plain tiles, with a large brick ridge stack in the centre and a sawtooth brick eaves band. The central cottages are single-bay, while the flanking cottages are two-bay, and all are two storeys high. The central cottages have a central, semi-circular doorcase, now blocked at the top with a 20th-century door. Each has three-light casement windows with single glazing bars under wedge lintels, and similar flat-headed three-light casements above. An entrance to the northern cottage is located in the north gable wall. The southern pair of cottages have three-light, glazing bar casements under segment heads in the centre, with smaller two-light windows to the sides. Above are two central three-light, flat-headed glazing bar casements, and similar two-light windows to the sides. The northern pair of cottages match the detailing of the southern pair. Entrance doorcases are located in gable walls, with mainly 20th-century replacements for the original plank doors, which have divided overlights.
The interiors of the cottages have not been inspected.
These cottages are considered to be of special architectural interest as a planned development of early 19th-century workers' cottages, likely built by a local estate. Their architectural significance lies in the symmetry of the planned layout and the careful detailing of the individual two-cottage groupings, which have remained largely unaltered over time.
