Description
These are three late 17th-century brick cottages forming a long range. They are built of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a central square chimney stack and a fly-hipped roof covered in peg tiles. The eaves are detailed with a dentilled course of gault brick, and there are two small end chimney stacks. The cottages have three south-facing doors and a series of four double-set casement windows with arched brick heads. Four gabled dormers project from the south slope of the roof.
