Description
Kendalls is a pair of early 19th century cottages that have been combined into a single dwelling. The building is timber framed with plastered walls and a thatched roof. It is aligned approximately east–west with a central chimney stack and faces south. It is a single-storey building with attics. The front includes one boarded door with a porch formed by an extended roof, and one six-panel door. Four 20th-century casement windows are present, along with two 19th-century casement windows set within eyebrow dormers.
