Description
Swallows Nest and Westover Cottage are two houses dating from the late 17th century, with a garage wing added in the late 20th century. They are constructed with a timber frame and roughcast finish, sitting on a stucco plinth, and feature a steeply pitched old red tile roof. The building is a long block of one and a half storeys, facing west and divided unevenly.
The front has four gabled dormers with casement windows, and the middle two gables display a circular motif of a ship. Westover Cottage, the smaller of the two houses, has an external red brick gable chimney and a central plank door with a simple surround and drip, flanked by two 2-light flush casement windows. To the south is a two-unit house with a central door similar to Westover Cottage but featuring six bullions inset. There is an end chimney at the north and a rear lateral chimney on the southern part, with similar casement windows throughout. The southern end has a plastered and tiled extension that includes inset garage doors and a fourth matching gable.
