Description
Oak Cottages is a house that has been divided into two cottages, dating from the 17th century and extended in the 19th century. The building features a timber frame with a facade of red brick in Flemish bond, while the rest is plastered, showing exposed framing on the left return wall. The roof is covered with handmade red clay tiles. The structure has three bays facing southeast, with a central stack. To the right, there is a late 19th-century two-storey lean-to extension with a slate roof, along with single-storey extensions behind it that have roofs of red clay pantiles. The main range consists of one storey and attics, while the right extension is two storeys high.
No. 2, which is the left half of the original block, features one mid-19th-century sash window with marginal lights, a six-panel door, and a 20th-century casement window in a gabled dormer. No. 1, the remaining part, has a two-window range of late 19th-century sashes, a four-panel door with glazed upper panels, and a 20th-century casement in a gabled dormer. An exposed 4-centred timber doorhead is visible in an arch on the brick facade, with the date 1600 painted below it. A dentilled string course runs across the entire front elevation.
