Description
Covens Wood Cottage and Lane Cottage are a row of four cottages, now combined into two, dating from the 18th century. The cottages have been renovated and extended at the rear. They are timber framed, rendered, and have a long straw thatch roof with two ridge stacks. The structure is a single range, with one storey and an attic. There are three eyebrow dormers, each featuring a 19th-century iron casement window. On the ground floor, Covens Wood Cottage has a porch in a painted lean-to extension and one late 20th-century hung sash window. Lane Cottage retains two 19th-century iron frame casements and a boarded door. Inside, the cottages feature slender framing with straight bracing and small back-to-back hearths made of red brick.
