Iddenden Cottages

Iddenden Cottages, originally a pair of houses, now three cottages, dates from the early 18th century and was extended in the 19th century. The building is timber-framed with weatherboarding and a ground floor of red brick. It has a plain tiled roof. The cottages are two storeys high with a half-hipped roof and a central chimney stack. The front has a regular pattern of five metal casement windows on the first floor and four on the ground floor. The central entrance has a paired boarded door sheltered by a single-gabled hood supported by brackets. A boarded door and a single-storey gabled extension are located on the right return. A mid-19th century weather-boarded rear wing, two storeys high, features an end stack, two wooden casement windows on each floor, and a central half-glazed door within a gabled porch. This wing interrupts the catslide outshot to the main range. The rear wing is similar in style and roughly contemporary to the earlier phase of construction as Nos 4 and 5 Iddenden Cottages, which stand adjacent.
