Description
Acorn Cottage and Oak Cottage are two cottages dating from the 18th century, with later alterations. They are constructed with a timber frame and plaster, with some parts weatherboarded. The cottages have a plastered and painted brick plinth. They are one storey high with an attic. To the left of the center, there are two boarded doors. The cottages feature nine windows of various sizes, all with glazing bars, and two of these may be located where doorways were previously sealed. Additionally, there are five eyebrow dormer windows and two red brick ridge stacks, along with one gault brick ridge stack.
