Description
Church Cottages is a terrace of cottages built in the late 18th century. They are one storey high with attics and constructed from flint and brick rubble, featuring red brick quoins and thatched roofs with dormers. The cottages have axial chimney stacks. Cottage number 6 is taller, standing at two storeys with rendered walls. The terrace underwent renovations around 1980, which included new casement windows, doors, and rear extensions that are not of special interest. The cottages have group value with The Church and Church House.
