Description

Nea Cottages is a pair of semi-detached cottages built in the early 19th century. They are constructed of rendered cob and topped with a thatched roof. Each cottage is 1½ storeys high and has two bays. The front elevation features a central plank door, which is sheltered by a swept-down hood supported by posts. On either side of the door, there are two-light casement windows with cambered heads, and above each cottage, there is a two-light eyebrow dormer. The roof is half-hipped with a central ridge stack. At the rear, there is an outshot made of brick with a slate roof.
