Description

Burzes Cottages, located on the east side of Penshurst New Road, is a 17th century timber-framed building that has been extended on both sides in the 19th century, now functioning as two separate dwellings. The main part of the building is two stories high and features two windows. It has a half-hipped tiled roof, with the first floor tile-hung and the ground floor constructed of 19th century brick. The windows are leaded iron casements, dating from the 18th century or early 19th century. There are paired doors in the center of the facade, sheltered by a pent hood. Some of the original timber framing is exposed on the returns, and there are additional one-story and attic extensions. The roof slopes low at the back.
