Description

These are two cottages located approximately 60 metres north of The Willows. They date from the early 17th century and were extended and altered in the 19th century. The cottages have a timber frame with a clay lump addition and are plastered, with some areas featuring red brick casing. The roof is thatched, with some glazed pantiled additions.

The building consists of three cells with an additional bay added to the right and stands two storeys high. There are boarded doors towards the left and at the original right end, along with two and three-light timber and metal frame glazing bar casements, which have hoodboards on the ground floor. A ridge stack is located to the right of centre on the main roof. The added bay on the right has a shallow pitch to its roof and features an internal end stack. The left gable end is made of 19th-century red brick and has an extruded stack in front of the ridge, with a first-floor segmental headed two-light casement. There is also an entrance in the left end of a 19th-century brick pantiled continuous lean-to outshut at the rear.

Inside, much of the frame is concealed, but to the right, there is a stop-chamfered axial binding beam and reverse curved braces in the end wall.
