Description
Old Well Cottage is a row of cottages dating from the late 18th century, featuring a chequered red brick front. The core of the building is likely timber-framed and may be older than the brick facade. It has a plain tile roof with four ridge chimney stacks and is arranged over one storey with attics. The cottages have four plank doors set in original pegged oak frames. There are five segmental-headed casement windows, most of which are in their original frames, along with five box dormers that have slate roofs.
