Description
Profits Hill Cottage is a pair of cottages built in the mid-18th century. They are constructed of red brick and feature a red plain tile hipped roof. The cottages are two storeys high and have a four-window range with various 20th-century casements, all adorned with gauged brick arches. There are two plain doorways, each with a semi-circular arch and plastered tympanum above. The eaves have a dentilled course, and there is an original central red brick chimney stack. Additionally, the cottages have seven iron tie bars with 'S' wall anchors. At the rear, there is a 20th-century red brick extension.
