Description
These are early 20th-century cottages built in a neo-Tudor style, likely designed by Sir Ernest George. The cottages consist of two storeys and three bays. The two right-hand bays have deeply overhanging gables topped with shingles. The first floor of these bays is half-timbered with roughcast infilling, resting on a heavily moulded beam. The left-hand bay is set back and features a blank, shingled first floor. The ground floor is constructed of red brick. The windows are leaded casements. A pent porch is located in the angle of the buildings.
