Description
These three cottages date from the 18th century. They are built of red brick with grey brick details, including a plinth and a band of two raised brick courses. The eaves have a decorative dentil brick cornice, and the roof is tiled with end and central ridge stacks. The cottages are two storeys high. The first floor has three 3-light leaded casement windows to the left, a 4-light leaded casement to the right, and two central 2-light leaded casements flanked by blank windows. The ground floor features two 2-light leaded casement windows to the left and two to the right, with a central 2-light leaded casement and another blank window to the left. There is a half-glazed panelled door with a flat bracketed hood on the far left. Between the second and third windows from the left are two half-glazed doors, one boarded and the other panelled, both with flat bracketed hoods.
