Description
Nos. 2 and 3 on The Street are a pair of estate cottages built in the Tudor style in the mid-19th century. They are constructed from random flint, featuring rusticated quoins and dressings made of red and white brick, with 20th-century Roman tiles on the roof. The cottages are one and a half storeys tall and have ornamental barge-boards on the south gable. A large internal chimney stack is notable for its three rounded ornamental shafts in white brick, each designed differently.
The cottages have casement windows, including one canted bay with a tented roof at the north end and two square bays along the south side of the rear wing. There are gabled dormers on the north and east sides, each topped with a drop finial at the apex. An enclosed porch with a round-arched doorway and a plank door is present, along with a similar porch and door for the other cottage on the south wall. Additionally, there is a small westward extension to the rear range. The original pump is located beside cottage number 3.
