8 Sharpstone Street

No. 8 Sharpstone Street is a terrace of three cottages that were originally built as one 18th-century house. The building has a three-cell lobby-entrance plan and is one storey high with attics. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure with a thatched roof, which includes a small-paned casement dormer from the 19th century. There is an axial chimney made of red brick from the 18th century and another chimney from the 19th century at the right-hand gable. The windows are small-pane casements from the 19th century, and the entrance doorways have pentice boards with 20th-century flush doors. In the 19th century, a continuous outshut was added to the rear when the house was divided into two cottages, along with pantiled lean-to extensions at either end. Some timber-framing is exposed internally, featuring on-edge floor joists and slender primary-braced studwork.
