Description
Kents Cottages is a row of mid 19th century cottages, with No. 14 added slightly later as a crosswing. The cottages are timber framed and weatherboarded, featuring grey slate roofs with red ridge tiles, barge boards, and a finial and pendant on the gable of No. 14. There are three plastered brick chimney stacks and four small paned vertically sliding sash windows. Each cottage has a vertically boarded door and small porches with slanting roofs, with a rear return porch on No. 14. Internally, the cottages remain largely unaltered, showcasing very steep and narrow stairs leading to the two upper rooms and angled fireplaces. The tiny original kitchen range in No. 12 is still intact, and the vertically boarded doors retain their original ironmongery.
