Description
This building is a range of six attached cottages located on The Street, dating from around 1830. Constructed from flint rubble with gault brick and some red brick dressings, the cottages are topped with a slate roof. The main range faces southwest and features three axial chimneys, with a rear wing on the left that projects and has one internal chimney. The cottages are two storeys high, and there is a 20th-century single-storey lean-to extension with a felt roof at the rear.
Each cottage has one window on the ground floor and one on the first floor, along with a door. There are also three false windows on the first floor, aligned with the party walls. Number 41, the leftmost cottage, retains its original horizontal sash windows with 15+15 lights on the ground floor and 12+12 lights on the first floor. The false windows are also original horizontal sashes with 12+12 lights and crown seconds glass. The remaining windows in the main elevation are early 20th-century casements with eight lights, all set under segmental arches.
The original doors feature moulded flat canopies on profiled brackets. Notably, the door of number 42 has an inserted diamond light and false hinges, while number 45 has an inserted square light. A plain band of two courses of brick runs at the height of the first-floor window sills. The hipped roof has a shallow pitch. The right side of the building has two early 20th-century casements with eight lights on each floor, while the left side features three original horizontal sashes with 15+15 lights on the ground floor and a mix of 15+15, 12+12, and a false window with 12+12 lights on the first floor. In front of the projecting wing, there is a 20th-century half-glazed door and a first-floor window with 20 lights. The rear elevation includes door and window dressings made of red brick.
This range of cottages has remained remarkably unaltered, with any changes made using designs that are compatible with the original style. The cottages do not appear on a map from 1823 but are present on the tithe map from 1839.
