Description

Morecroft and Vine Cottage is a pair of cottages dating from the late 18th century. They are constructed of brick and feature a thatched roof. Each cottage has three bays and is one and a half stories tall. The left cottage includes a 20th-century brick porch on the left side with a door positioned on the right. It also has a reset three-light casement window at the front. The right cottage has a half-glazed 20th-century door in its original segmental head frame at the end bay, along with three-light cast-iron casement windows in segmental heads in this bay and the others. On the first floor, there are features on the wall plate at the inner end of the right bay and the second bay from the left.
