Description
This listing describes a row of four cottages, originally built as one house, dating from the late 16th century. The cottages are part two storeys and part two storeys with an attic, featuring a main range and a higher cross-wing. They are timber-framed and covered in 20th-century roughcast, with clay pantiles on the roof. A notable feature is the internal chimney stack, which has four detached octagonal shafts with moulded bases and incomplete tops, set on a high shaped base. The cottages have 20th-century metal casement windows and plain doors. The short cross-wing, which is no wider than the main range, consists of two bays and includes an ovolo-moulded main beam and cornice on the ground floor.
Cottages two and three have modernized interiors, while cottage four retains a main beam with a large chamfer and pyramid stops. On the upper floor of cottage four, there is a three-light diamond-mullioned window with the original mullions still in place, located in what was the gable-end wall. Although the building has been affected by 20th-century alterations, it is recognized for its historical significance and potential for restoration. Cottages five and six, which were added in the 19th century at the north end, are not included in this listing.
