49-52

A row of four estate cottages, built in 1848 as part of the Duke of Bedford’s estate. They are constructed of mottled pink brick with brick dressings and some red brick patterning, with clay tile roofs. The cottages form a continuous block with slightly projecting gables to the front and rear elevations. They have one storey and attics. There are six ground floor windows: those within the projecting gables have three lights, while the recessed bays have two lights. Four two-light casements provide access to the attics. Most windows are cast iron lattice casements. Cottages 49 and 52 have gabled brick porches on their side elevations, while cottages 50 and 51 have similar porches flanking the central projecting gables. The porches originally had round-arched entrances, but these have been filled with 20th-century doors. Four multiple ridge stacks, made of red brick, are visible. Cottage 50 also features two 20th-century rooflights.
