Description

Lamp Cottage and The Homestead are two cottages dating from the late 18th century and later. They feature brick gables with a rendered clay lump facade and have a pantiled roof. The buildings are two storeys high, with two doors positioned to the left and right, each covered by flat hoods. On the ground floor, there are three casement windows, one of which has been renewed, and one has been converted into a sash window. The first floor has three sash windows with glazing bars, along with two blocked windows, all adorned with late 19th-century hoods on labels.
