Description
The building comprises a row of three 18th-century cottages with an adjoining barn and a cottage at a right angle, located on High Street. The cottages are constructed of whitewashed clunch with brick dressings, and have red pantiled roofs. The barn is of squared clunch with brick dressings, also with a red pantiled roof.
The cottage at the south end of the row has a ground-floor two-light casement window and two first-floor two-light casements, all with wooden frames and lead glazing bars. It features a lean-to porch. The next cottage north has a ground-floor three-light casement and first-floor casements with lead glazing bars, alongside a boarded door with a rectangular light and lead glazing bars. The following cottage has a ground-floor two-light casement and two first-floor two-light casements with leaded glazing bars, and a partially glazed 20th-century door. The final cottage in the row has a ground-floor three-light casement and two first-floor two-light casements with leaded glazing bars. All openings have whitewashed brick dressings. Notable features include a central axial stack, a north gable stack, and a south axial stack. The building is recognized for its surviving casement windows.
The barn, dating approximately to 1700, is attached at a right angle. It has a central cart entrance which has been filled in, and its west bay converted into a two-storey cottage. This cottage section has a ground-floor and first-floor window with two lights and glazing bars. A boarded door is topped with an open gabled canopy. A brick buttress supports the west side of the barn. The west gable displays brick quoins, tumbling-in brickwork, checkerwork brick and clunch, and a brick arch at the apex, where a datestone once stood, now illegible. A whitewashed clunch lean-to is located at the junction of the barn and the row of cottages. Further single-storey barns continue to the west, constructed of clunch with brick dressings, and featuring red pantiled roofs.
