Description

Cranbrook Cottage is an early 19th-century back-to-back cottage pair, now combined into a single dwelling. The construction is timber-framed with a red brick plinth and weatherboarded upper walls. A brick stack is located at the left end. The roof is covered with plain tiles. The cottage has two storeys and a two-window front on each side. The windows are sash windows on the east side and casement windows on the west side. A central boarded door is situated in the middle of both sides of the cottage, each having a small, flat-roofed hood supported by brackets above.
