Description

Church Farm Cottages is a row of four farm cottages dating from the early 19th century, with one cottage from the 17th century located at the southeast end. The cottages are constructed of flint with gault brick dressings and feature a half hipped pantile roof with two ridge stacks. The 17th-century cottage is a single storey with an attic and has a weatherboarded and pantiled extension. It includes two fixed light windows and one casement window, along with a boarded door. The 19th-century cottages are two storeys tall and have four casement windows with iron latticed glazing bars on the first floor. The ground floor has three similar casement windows set in segmental brick arches, along with three boarded doors. There is a low service range to the right side of the row.
