Description

Stanwell Cottages is a pair of cottages built in the early 19th century. They are constructed of red brick and have a pantiled roof, standing two storeys high. The facade is symmetrical, featuring a two-window range with three-light casements set under segmental arches. There are two doorways: the left-hand cottage has an original boarded door, while the right-hand cottage has a mid-20th century door. The cottages also have a central internal stack. They are included in the listing for their group value.
