Description
Wall Cottage is a pair of dwellings, originally three, dating from the early 19th century and built on the site of an earlier house. The structure is made of plum brick, with some earlier red brick at the base, and features a tiled roof. It has three bays and stands two storeys high.
On the ground floor, there are altered openings, with two recessed plank doors at the centre of each cottage, flanked by two and three light small pane casements that have segmental heads. The first floor has three three-light casements. The eaves are dentilled brick, and there is a central cross axial ridge stack, with end stacks added later. At the rear, there is a ground floor lean-to addition with a slate roof, which includes four first floor casements. The interior has not been inspected. This building is included for its group value.
