Description
A row of six cottages built around 1830 in Theddingworth, located on the west side of Hothorpe Road. The cottages are constructed of cobblestone with brick dressings and have a Welsh slate roof. Each of the back-to-back cottages is one and a half units wide and three stories high. Each cottage has a plank door flanked by casement windows; these include windows of one and two lights to the ground and first floors, and a single two-light casement window in the attic. Window openings feature brick quoins and cambered brick heads, with a flat timber lintel over the attic window. The cottages have brick dentilled eaves and angle quoins. Axial stacks are present. The cottages were reputedly built by the Hothorpe Estate to house silk hat makers, with workshops located in the attics.
