Description
Russets and Whos Cottage is a 19th-century building featuring a red brick front with black brick headers, which may indicate it was built over an earlier structure. The cottage is two storeys high and has three windows; the first storey has casement windows, while the ground storey has double-hung sash windows with glazing bars. There are two four-panel doors and a central passageway with a semi-circular arch. The roofs are tiled. This building is included for its group value.
