Description

These two cottages, located 12 metres behind Westview and Rose Cottage, are likely from the 17th century and later. They were originally a farmhouse that has been subdivided. The cottages feature a rendered timber frame and thatched roofs, standing two storeys high with an attic. There are some 18th-century windows with leaded lights and metal casements. The front has two 19th-century planked doors and two dormers. At the rear, there is one surviving three-light diamond mullion window. The cottages have one gable-end stack and an additional external gable-end stack, along with two lower side extensions.
