Description
Coughton Cross Cottages is a row of three cottages that were originally six almshouses, dating from the 17th century, with the front facing the road rebuilt in the 19th century. The cottages are timber framed with square framing and brick infill, topped with an old tile roof and featuring four brick ridge stacks. Each cottage has a two-unit plan and is one storey high with an attic, which includes six late 20th-century casement dormers.
Cottages one and two each have two 19th-century plank doors, one of which has a tile hood. The ground floor of these cottages has small casement windows. Cottage three has a late 20th-century single-storey timber framed addition with a catslide roof and a plank door. The left and right sides of the cottages are faced in brick, while the road front is also brick, featuring a brick dentil cornice and vitrified headers. The six dormers are accompanied by 19th-century casements with glazing bars on the ground floor, set under segmental brick arches.
Inside, cottage one has exposed framing and broad chamfered ceiling beams, along with two open fireplaces that have stepped stop-chamfered bressumers; one fireplace also features a heavily moulded beam above.
