Description
Church Cottages is a pair of cottages that were formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 17th century. The building features a timber frame that has been refaced in the 19th century with red brick and has a 20th-century plain tile roof. It stands two storeys high on a brick plinth and has a hipped roof with a central stack. There are four windows with Dering lights, alternating between two and three lights, and strainer arches above the ground floor windows. The building has two doors: one is located at the extreme left in a semi-circular opening, and the other is below the third window, set in a gabled brick porch in front of the stack. There is some evidence of 17th-century brickwork visible in the side elevation.
