75 And 76, Stock Street

Nos 75 and 76 on Stock Street are a pair of attached cottages dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with a 20th-century extension. The cottages are timber framed and plastered, topped with handmade red plain tiles. They have four bays facing south and a central stack, with an external stack at each end, which is enclosed by a single-storey extension featuring a hipped roof. The cottages are one storey high with attics and have no rear extensions.

On the ground floor, there are four 20th-century metal casements, and two 20th-century casements are positioned at half-floor height below the eaves. Additionally, there are two 20th-century metal casements in gabled dormers and two half-glazed doors. The roof is gambrel in style. Inside, there are chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops and plain joists of vertical section. The frame is largely concealed by plaster, especially in the left cottage, number 75. These cottages are depicted on the tithe map of 1853, held at the Essex Record Office.
