Description

Nos. 3, 4, and 5 Bakers Cross is a row of cottages dating from the 18th century. They are built with a timber frame on a plinth made of red and blue bricks, featuring a ground floor of red and blue brick and a first floor that is tile-hung. The roof is plain tiled and half-hipped to the right. There is a tall central brick ridge stack and an additional stack on the rear wing to the left. A hipped dormer is located on the left side of the building. The cottages are two storeys high with an attic and have an irregular arrangement of five windows on both floors, including a small flat-headed octagonal bay on the right. The entrances feature boarded doors, with No. 3 located to the left, No. 4 to the left of centre, and No. 5 to the right.
