Description
Little Spinners and Oak Cottage is a pair of houses that were built as one in the late 17th century. The building has two storeys and a two-cell plan, featuring two windows. It is constructed with a timber frame and has a plastered exterior. The roof is covered with plain tiles and includes carved brackets at the gable foot, along with exposed prominent sprockets. There is a central 17th-century chimney made of red brick. The windows are small-pane casements from the 19th and 20th centuries. Little Spinners has a 19th-century four-panelled door at the lobby entrance, with the upper panels glazed. Oak Cottage features a mid-20th-century panelled entrance door at its gable.
