Description

These are two 18th-century farmhouses that were later divided into separate cottages. The cottages have two storeys and two windows each. The lower parts of the walls are constructed of flint rubble with red brick quoins and window dressings on the ground floor. The upper parts of the walls are red brick. The windows are 18th-century sash windows with multiple panes of glass, set in exposed frames. There is one small dormer window. The roof is tiled, with a half-hip design. A plain boarded door has a flat, moulded hood above it. A single-story addition of flint rubble is attached to the left side.
