Description

North Cottages, located on Westbere Lane, date from the late 17th century to early 18th century. This two-storey building is constructed of red brick and features a half-hipped tiled roof. It has two casement windows and one window space, along with a stringcourse. The ground floor displays cambered brick arches above the windows. Originally, there was a central paired doorcase, which has since been converted into a window. There is also a simple one-storey extension on the ground floor, along with simple doorcases.
