Description
Rectory Cottages are two cottages dating from the 17th century. They are timber framed and plastered, with the plasterwork originally designed to imitate ashlar. The gable ends are made of late 19th century red brick, featuring yellow-white brick quoins, and the roof is covered with black pantiles. The cottages are two storeys high with an attic and have a three-window range, primarily consisting of mid-20th century casements. There is a doorway with a modern boarded door and two gabled dormers, along with an internal stack.
