Wishing Well Cottage

Wishing Well Cottage, together with numbers 55 and 57 Kirkgate, is a house of probable 17th-century origin, originally a farmhouse and later divided into three cottages. The building is constructed of chequered knapped and rubble flint with red chalk, incorporating flint galleting. The roof is covered in red pantiles. The east front has three ground-floor C20 casement windows and three C20 doors. Number 55 has original brick dressings to its windows, and two blocked first-floor windows at the south, incorporating coursed clunch with flint galleting. Number 57 has two C20 first-floor casement windows. Number 59, to the north, contains three-light C19 casements with glazing bars. The building features brick end quoins, brick heightening courses, kneelers, and coped parapets. A steep roof is punctuated by a C20 brick stack positioned off-centre to the south, and an end gable stack to the north. A flat-roofed C20 single-storey brick extension to the south of number 55 is not considered to be of special architectural or historic interest.
