Description
Nos. 7 and 8, St Botolph Green, are a pair of cottages that were originally a farmhouse, dating from the mid to late 17th century with 19th-century alterations. They are constructed from coursed limestone rubble with freestone dressings and feature a thatched roof. The building has a stone ridge stack with rebuilt brick shafts and an end stack on the left side, along with parapet gables where red brick has replaced the original stone coping.
The cottages are two storeys high with attics and follow an original three-unit lobby entry plan, which has been modified to create two separate dwellings. There are two entrances: one with a glazed door for No. 7 and another with a panelled door for No. 8, each featuring a 19th-century gabled canopy. The right side has a four-light 17th-century casement window with ovolo mullions and a moulded cornice, while the ground floor includes three other windows and two first-floor windows of various sizes, all with wooden lintels. Additionally, there is one gabled dormer window. The gable on the north-east side has a blocked 17th-century doorway and a blocked single light window.
Inside, the cottages feature stop-chamfered axial beams and a sealed hearth in the central room.
