Description
Santon Farm Cottages is a pair of cottages that were originally a house, featuring an 18th-century exterior over an earlier timber-framed structure. The building is clad in red brick and has a plain tiled roof. It stands two storeys high on a plinth, with a plat band and a hipped roof that includes a projecting hipped wing on the left side. There are chimney stacks located on the left, centre left, and at the right end of the building. The first floor has three glazing bar sash windows, while the ground floor has two, with the left window having a raised plat band above it. There is a small circular window in the centre of the ground floor, and a half-glazed door is set in a timbered porch to the centre left. The building has outshots on both the left and right sides. The rear elevation of the left wing is tile-hung and partially plastered.
