Morley Ponds Cottages

The building comprises two houses, originally a single house dating to around 1700, with extensions and subdivision occurring in the early 19th century. It is timber-framed and largely dark weatherboarded, with a lower front block clad in red brick. The roof is covered in old red tiles. The house is a small, picturesque two-story building facing south. A central chimney is present, and it has a lobby entry with a two-room plan. The roof structure includes late clasped-purlins, straight wind-braces, and tension-braces. There are two windows on each floor at the front. The windows are 2-light flush casements, and a central boarded door, now serving as the entrance to the west house, is present. A Flemish-bond pattern of early 19th-century red brick casing is visible on the lower floor of the front block, and it features corner buttresses extending upwards over the doorhead. Rear extensions, also dark weatherboarded and containing two-light, small-paned, cast iron casements, are present. One extension runs parallel to the second house, while the other is set at a right angle to the first. A modern, flat-roofed rear extension is not of particular interest.
