7 AND 9

Nos. 7 and 9 are a house that has been divided into two cottages, dating from the 17th century with later additions and alterations. The building is timber framed with painted brick infill on a rubblestone plinth and has a graded slate roof. It features three or four framed bays, likely originally designed in a baffle-entry plan, and is one storey high with an attic. The framing consists of square panels, with three panels from the cill to the wall-plate, long and short straight tension braces, and V-struts from the collar to the right gable end.

The windows are late 19th-century casements, with two on the left and one on the right of a 20th-century lean-to porch. There is a prominent gabled half-dormer to the left of centre that has two late 19th-century casements, with an infilled doorway beneath. The entrance to No. 9 is through a boarded door in the right gable end, while No. 7 has a half-glazed door in a 20th-century rendered addition, which is not of special architectural interest. A brown brick ridge stack, with its top rebuilt in mid-19th-century brick, is located to the right of centre, and there is a former integral end stack to the left at the junction with the 20th-century addition. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
