Description
A 17th-century cottage, later divided into two cottages and altered in the 20th century. The building is timber-framed with brick infill, and has a brick 20th-century extension; the roof is tiled, hipped to the south. The original timber frame is three bays wide, running north to south, and has a 20th-century extension to its north, with a catslide roof over an outshut to the west. It has one and a half storeys, featuring two gabled eaves dormers on the left side, a square 20th-century dormer on the east side, and an eyebrow dormer flanked by two square 20th-century dormers on the west side. Two ridge chimneys are present. The east-facing elevation has brickwork over the timber frame to the left bay, with a three-light casement window. The central and right bays have three two-light casement windows each. An entrance door is located in the 20th-century extension at No. 2, and another is on the south end of Wobbles.
