Description
Park Cottage and Honeysuckle Cottage are two cottages, with the left-hand cottage, Park Cottage, incorporating a former shop. The cottages largely date from the later 18th century, although they include some earlier fabric. They form a single range with a cross wing, Honeysuckle Cottage, to the right. The construction is timber-framed and plastered, with the plasterwork imitating ashlar. The main range has a pantiled roof, while the cross wing has plain tiles. The cottages are two storeys high. They feature a variety of 19th-century windows, a 19th-century shop front, a central half-glazed door with an open timber trellis porch, and two eight-pane windows flanked by pilasters with a fascia and cornice above. The left-hand side of the main range has a four-panel door, and the cross wing features a ground-floor canted bay and a half-glazed door. There is an internal stack and a gable-end stack on the left-hand side of the main range.
