Description
Walnut Tree Cottages is a pair of cottages built in 1819 at the expense of Reverend W.C. Steggall, with alterations made in the 20th century. The cottages are constructed from clay lump on a flint and brick base, and they feature weatherboarding and rendering. They have a hipped thatched roof and consist of two cells with end entrances and a central stack, standing two storeys high.
On the ground floor, there is a 20th-century door to the right, along with two and three-light 20th-century casement windows. The first floor has two small part-opening two-light casements. A central ridge stack is present, and the right end has small two-light metal frame part-opening casements, with the first-floor window featuring a leaded pane. The rendered left end includes a door and a first-floor two-light casement. At the rear, there is a lean-to addition with a pantiled and corrugated sheet roof.
Nos. 3 and 4 Walnut Tree Cottages form a pair, with the other half providing documentary evidence for the date of construction. Nos. 1 and 2 Walnut Tree Cottages are not listed.
