1 And 2, Desford Lane

A pair of cottages built around 1875. They are made of red brick in Flemish bond with pale headers, featuring white and blue brick dressings. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and have overhanging eaves and bargeboards, along with two gable stacks. The cottages are single storey plus an attic. There is a central gabled, projecting porch with two doorways, each fitted with a four-panel door. On either side of the porch, there are slight projections that contain a single pointed arched window with two-light casements and margin lights, all set in chamfered white brick surrounds topped with blue brick hoods. Above, there are two similar windows that project through the eaves beneath small barge-boarded gables.
