Description

Hill View Cottage and Henstead Cottage are a pair of cottages that likely originated as a farmhouse, dating from the 17th century and later. The cottages feature a rendered timber frame and a thatched roof, standing two storeys high with an attic. They have two surviving 6-light chamfered mullion windows, while other windows are 2-light casements with leaded glazing. The structure includes one off-centre axial stack and an additional external gable-end stack.
