Description

A pair of cottages dating from the early 19th century, located on Church Street in Ickleton. The cottages are constructed of flint with gault brick detailing, and have low-pitched slated roofs. They are square in plan and sit on a corner plot, with a single-bay extension to the north. The south side has two panelled doors and one blocked doorway. The ground floor features four horizontal sliding sash windows with small panes, set within segmental brick arches. Above them are five similar, smaller windows. To the north are two ground floor sash windows. The buildings are listed for their group value.
