Description
This is a row of four cottages built in the mid 19th century. They are constructed of flint with gault brick detailing and feature slate roofs. The cottages have two storeys and are topped with two square gault brick ridge stacks. On the upper floor, there are four recessed twelve-paned hung sash windows set within cambered brick arches. The ground floor has four similar but larger windows. Each cottage has a doorway framed by round-headed brick arches with imposts; two of these doorways have original six-panelled doors, while the other two have modern half-glazed panelled doors.
