Railway Cottages

Railway Cottages is a house, originally a row of houses, dating from the 15th century and restored in the 1980s. It features a timber frame with the ground floor clad in red brick in a mixed bond. The first floor has exposed framing with rendered infilling and is topped with a plain tile roof. The building consists of four timber-framed bays, with the central two likely forming an open hall. It stands two storeys high on a stone plinth, with a slightly higher midrail on the two central bays. The studding is broadly spaced, and there are two tension braces on the right end bay. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, with gablets. A slender projecting stack is located on the left end of the front elevation, while a multiple brick ridge stack is found on the left end of the right hall bay, and a projecting gable end stack is on the right. The fenestration is irregular, featuring one two-light casement on the left hall bay and four 20th-century wooden casements on the ground floor. A panelled door is set within durns to the right end of the right hall bay. The interior has not been inspected.
