Robin'S Row (Cottages)

Robin’s Row is a row of five cottages dating from the 18th century, with later alterations in the 20th century. The cottages are constructed with a facade of flint pebbles and red brick detailing, including quoins. They have a steeply pitched clay tile roof with boxed eaves, and rendered chimney stacks. The cottages are arranged with a gable end facing the road, forming a freestanding terrace. Originally, each unit had a single window facing the front. All windows have been renewed with glazing bars replicating the original pattern, or have been replaced in the late 20th century, with the exception of those in number 1. The first-floor windows are 16-pane sashes. A single-storey, canted bay window was inserted in the late 19th century at number 2, and a window opening was blocked at number 1, with the gable end being lit. All entrance doors are 20th-century plank style. The right-hand return to the road features three courses of brickwork ornamentation on the gable end, along with a 2-light attic window and a ground-floor sash window with 16 panes. The gable end contributes significantly to the appearance of the street.
