Description
Nos 60 and 62 Wild Hill are a pair of cottages dating from the 16th or 17th century. They feature a timber frame with a roughcast front. At both ends, there are red-brick rear extensions added in the early to mid-19th century. The cottages are one storey high with attics and have a plain tile roof. There are three cast iron latticed casements and three dormers, each with fishscale-pattern weatherboarded gables. The two central doors are sheltered by a single bracketed tiled canopy.
