Description
These are a pair of cottages located at the corner of Everton Road and Potton Road, built around 1850. They are constructed from coursed carstone rubble with rendered dressings and feature a thatched roof. The cottages share a gault brick stack with two shafts linked at the entablature. They are two storeys high and have rendered rusticated quoins and a decorative band. Each cottage has a single light cast-iron casement window with lozenge lights set in a red brick pointed arch. Adjacent to the ground floor, there are original open-sided timber porches with thatched gable roofs, each with a similar casement window on the side. Low wings made of thatch and brick were added to each end in the 20th century. These cottages are part of a group of sixty dwellings built by William Wilkieson following the enclosure in 1844.
