Description
This is a terrace of four cottages located in Kentish Town, dating from the early 19th century. The cottages are timber framed and plastered, with the plaster designed to imitate ashlar. They have a pantiled roof and stand two storeys tall. The facade is symmetrical, featuring six windows that include both two-light and three-light casements with segmental arches, along with four boarded doors. There are internal and gable end stacks. These cottages are identical in form to the adjacent Nos. 1-4 and represent a well-preserved example of the later use of timber-framed construction for agricultural workers' cottages.
