Description
Two cottages, dating from the mid-18th century, are located on School Square in Hockham. They are constructed with a timber frame, rendered clay lump infill, and have a thatched gable roof. A flint plinth runs along the base. The cottages feature two central doors, with a small casement window to the left and right. An eyebrow dormer is set into the eaves; internal south and external north gable stacks are present. A flat-topped extension from the 20th century was added to the south, and a pitched outshut to the north.
