Description
Briar Cottage and Cobwebs are two cottages dating to the 17th century, originally timber-framed and now plastered. They have a thatched roof with gable ends, forming a long range. The cottages are two storeys high with an attic, featuring windows in the gable ends. The front facade has only two windows on each floor, with the remaining wall space blank. The windows are two- and three-light casements; some retain old leaded panes, whilst others are more recent replacements. Brick chimney stacks are present.
