Description
Cooks Cottage is a late 18th century pair of cottages located on the south side of Hilton High Street. The cottages are constructed from colour-washed brick and feature a thatched roof with gault brick parapet gables. They are two-storeys high and have a central stack. On the first floor, there are two horizontal sliding sashes with glazing bars. On the ground floor, there are two flush panelled doors, positioned on either side of two similar sashes. There is also a lean-to structure on the left side.
