Description
This is a range of timber-framed and weatherboarded cottages, likely dating from the 18th century, with the ground floor constructed in brick and colour-washed. A cross wing is present at the north end. The cottages are two storeys high with attics. They feature casement windows with glazing bars. The roofs are tiled, and two large gabled dormers are visible on the main block. Nos. 305 to 309 (the odd numbers) combine with Nos. 315 and 321 to form a group.
