Description
Duck Street Cottages are probably 16th century cottages that form an L-shaped building. They are timber framed and plastered, featuring a thatched hipped roof. The cottages are one storey with attics, and have modern casement windows, a central dormer, and two axial brick chimney stacks, along with one gable chimney stack. There is a modern extension at the rear, and the interior has been modernised.
