Description

Primrose Cottages are four cottages built in the late 18th century. They are constructed of red brick and feature a hipped tiled roof. The cottages are two storeys high and have two central entrances and two outer entrances, with each cottage having one three-light casement window that includes single glazing bars, timber sills, and flush frames. All ground floor openings, except for the right door, have segmental heads. The eaves are close, and there are two ridge stacks. There is a lean-to extension on the right side. The interior has not been inspected.
