Description
Two cottages, dating from the 17th century, with a later addition at the south end and subsequent restoration to create a near-symmetrical pair. They are timber framed with a half-hipped thatched roof. The cottages have two storeys and four upper windows. The timber frame is exposed at the front, most of the rear, and the upper part of the north gable, where original timbers are visible, along with painted brick infill and other walling. Windows are 20th-century casements. There are two plain doorways with boarded doors.
