Description
Chilvers Cottages is a pair of cottages dating from the 18th century. They are timber framed with rough rendering and have a weatherboarded return. The cottages feature a red plain tiled roof and an off-centre right red brick chimney stack. They are one storey with attics, including two gabled dormers. The front has three vari-light small paned casements with pentice boards above, along with two vertically boarded doors that also have pentice boards continuing over the windows. A family named Chilvers lived in these cottages in 1796, as noted in F.H. Erith's "Ardleigh in 1796," published in 1978.
