Description

Attwaters Cottage and Rowan Cottage form a pair of cottages dating from the early 18th century, with a later 20th-century extension. The cottages are timber-framed with weather-boarded first floors, tile-hung return elevations, and red brick ground floors laid in an irregular English Garden Wall bond. The roof is tiled, with a gambrel roof in the garret section and a central chimney stack. The front facade features four three-light wooden casement windows on the first floor, and two casements to the centre of the ground floor. Boarded doors are located to the right and left, the latter set within a 20th-century hipped porch. A two-storey extension is recessed to the left end, constructed from materials matching the original construction and having a single wooden casement window on each floor. A catslide roof extends to the rear. The interior includes a fully framed rear wall and large open fireplaces.
