Description
Nos. 11 and 12 Falcon Square are two cottages that likely date from the 17th century or earlier, with some later alterations. They feature a timber frame with brick facing from the 18th and 19th centuries. The cottages have a red plain tiled roof that is half hipped to the right, connecting to the plastered gable end of 2 and 4 King Street. There is a central red brick chimney stack with decorative bands. The buildings are two storeys high and have a two-window range with small paned metal casements. There are two modern red tiled gabled entrance porches with contemporary doors.
