Description
Church Cottage is a row of three cottages dating from the late 18th century that have been renovated. Originally timber-framed, they have likely been replaced by brick and rendered. The cottages feature a long straw thatch mansard roof and have two gault brick ridge stacks. They are positioned end to the road and consist of one storey with an attic. On the north side, there are two eyebrow dormers with slate sills, along with three modern wood and metal casements and doorways. The interior has been modernised. This row of cottages is included for group value, and it is likely that they were built around the same time as Corn Cottage.
