Description

Balderton Hall Cottages is a house that has been divided, dating from around 1600 and the mid-17th century, with alterations from the 18th or 19th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick nogging on a rendered plinth, and the south end wall has been rebuilt in rendered brick. The roof is made of graded slate. The framing from around 1600 includes large square panels on the right side, with two panels extending from the sole plate to the wall plate and short straight corner braces. The center has mid-17th century small square panels, with three panels from sole plate to wall plate, while the left side likely has altered small square panels. The building has three framed bays arranged at right angles to the road, with the northernmost bay likely being the earliest from around 1600, and the other two added in the 17th century. It is one storey high with an attic.

The east front features two large central gabled eaves dormers with 19th-century small-paned two-light wooden casements. The left gable end is parapeted and has an external brick stack, along with a central brick ridge stack and an off-centre brick ridge stack to the right. The front has five windows: a central pair of two- and three-light 19th-century wooden casements, a pair of likely 18th-century horizontal glazing bar sashes on either side, and a small probable staircase window off-centre to the left. There is a boarded door located between the first and second windows from the right. The right-hand gable end features a collar and tie-beam truss with queen struts and V-struts. To the right, there is a 20th-century painted brick lean-to that is set back. The rear has three gabled eaves dormers and a central lean-to addition, with the entrance to No. 1 located at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
