Tudor Cottages

These are two cottages, originally a single house, dating back to the 16th century. The house is timber-framed with plaster infill and a pantiled roof. A decorative band of pargeting, created in the 17th century, runs along the first floor. This pargeting features a design of running honeysuckle, terminating on the right side with a dragon and a small mask, with a similar but now indistinct termination on the left. Above the band are four panels displaying mainly geometric designs, including a Tudor rose. The cottages have two storeys and three windows, with 2-light and 3-light casement windows from the 18th and 19th centuries. There’s a boarded front door, and a second doorway that has been blocked up. A brick stack is located internally, and a gable end stack is on the right-hand side. Similar pargetted designs are found on The Gables in Yoxford and Manor House in Theberton.
