Description

These are four semi-detached cottages, numbered 1 to 4, built in 1906 as lodges for Digswell House. The architect was C Godfrey. The cottages are constructed of brick, with a central stack and two gabled dormers to the fish-scale tile roof. The windows are casements, with three panes to each, and the ground floor windows have rectangular dripmoulds. Brick porches with arched doors are present.
