Description

Goddon House is a 17th-century building that was altered in the 19th century. Originally, it was part of a group of seven cottages. The north-westernmost cottage, known as Godden House, features a timber-framed structure that was restored in the 19th century. The ground floor is faced with red brick, while the first floor is tile-hung and oversails on a bressumer. The cottage has sprocket eaves, and the attached former shop has a small gable with scalloped bargeboards. The roof is tiled, and there is an L-shaped range at the rear with a 17th-century chimney stack.

The next cottage, No. 1, located on the south-west front, is dated 1699 and bears the initials E S W. It is two storeys high and constructed of red brick. The north-west half has a tiled roof with two hipped dormers, while the south-east half features a string course and a slate roof. There is a gabled weather porch supported by wooden twisted columns. The remaining cottages form the return front facing south-east, also two storeys high and built of red brick with a slate roof. They have seven casement windows facing south and four casement windows facing south-east. These cottages were part of the Bifrons estate.
