Description
Cornwallis Cottages is a row of four cottages that were originally almshouses, built in the mid-17th century. The cottages are constructed from colourwashed brick and feature a pantiled roof with crowstepped gable ends. They are one and a half storeys tall and form a single range with a symmetrical facade.
On the ground floor, there are four casement windows dating from the mid-20th century, which have diamond-leaded glass. Above, there are seven gabled dormers that likely contain original three-light diamond-leaded windows. The cottages have paired doorways with 20th-century boarded doors set in original frames, and each doorway is topped with a narrow two-light leaded rectangular fanlight. The building has a central square chimney stack, along with smaller stacks at each gable end.
