Description
Forge Cottage and Ivy Cottage are a pair of cottages dating from the 18th century, which were subdivided into four small dwellings in the early 19th century. They feature a timber frame set on a soft red brick plinth, with the front walls covered in weatherboarding and pebbledash, while the gables are plastered. The cottages have a reed thatch roof with a central ridge stack and two small inserted stacks. They are one storey high with attics, and include two boarded doors, one fixed light window, and three horizontal sliding sash windows, along with two horizontal sliding sash dormer windows.
