Description
Two cottages located at 2 and 4 Butter Street, dating from the 17th century and early 19th century. They are timber framed with whitewashed brick infill and whitewashed brick. The cottages have an old tile roof and a brick ridge stack. Each cottage has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys tall with a four-window range.
No. 4 features a mid-19th century four-panelled door with a moulded wood surround, alongside a late 20th century bow window. No. 2 has a late 20th century plank door within a mid-19th century wood surround and an early to mid-19th century bow window. The first floor of No. 2 has two 19th century casements with glazing bars. There is a brick range on the left set at a slight angle, which includes a late 20th century plank door and a mid-19th century sash window, with late 20th century sashes on the first floor.
The gable end facing the Town Hall features a late 20th century bow window on the ground floor and an early 19th century bow window with a 16-pane sash on the first floor. The rear of the cottages, which faces the parish church, is made of whitewashed brick with irregular fenestration and late 20th century casements. The interior has not been inspected. The cottages occupy an important position on the edge of the churchyard.
