Description
These are two timber-framed cottages, likely dating from around 1600. They were re-clad with painted weatherboarding and have a mansard roof covered in old tiles. The cottages are one storey high with attics, featuring three casement dormer windows with glazing bars. There are three flush-set sash windows with glazing bars, along with two small, cut bracketed doorhoods. It is said that substantial timber framework is visible internally.
