Description
Number 4 (Foresters Cottage), 5, and 6 are a row of three houses dating from the 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. The houses are timber-framed, featuring painted brick and rendered infill on a rubble base, topped with a machine-tiled roof and brick ridge stacks. They consist of four framed bays aligned east to west, with an external roughcast chimney at the west end. The buildings are single storey with an attic that includes dormers.
The framing includes three panels from the sill to the wall-plate, with some short straight braces across the lower outer corners of the upper panels. No trusses are visible from the outside.
On the south front elevation, Nos 5 and 6 have a ground floor 2-light casement window with plank weathering, a gabled dormer with a 2-light casement and plank weathering, and ledged and battened main entrance doors. Number 4 occupies the two eastern bays and features a 20th-century glazed door on the left, with a painted rubble wing adjoining the right bay. This wing has a 2-light 20th-century casement window on both floors at its gable end, a similar window on the ground floor at the angle with the main range, and a half-glazed door. There is also a 20th-century timber lean-to canopy at the angle with the main range, along with a 20th-century two-storey extension at the rear of No 6.
