Description
A pair of attached cottages dating to the late 18th century. The cottages are timber-framed with plaster rendering and a thatched roof. They are aligned approximately northeast to southwest, facing northwest, with a central chimney stack. A 20th-century single-storey extension, roofed with red pantiles, has been added to the northeast side. The cottages have one four-panel door, one glazed door, and four 20th-century metal casement windows. There are two swept dormers, one dating from the 20th century and one from the 19th century, each with casement windows. The roof has a gambrel form with a steeply pitched lower section.
