Description

They form an open court and are located on Knebworth Park Lane, near Knebworth. The cottages are constructed of whitewashed brick, with a machine tile roof and six red brick chimney stacks. The design is two storeys high, with 3- and 4-light casement windows featuring glazing bars; gable end windows are set in corners. A central arched passage provides through access. A diamond-shaped date panel is positioned above the entrance. The cottages feature plank doors sheltered by simple, flat hoods.
