Description

Bailleys Farm Cottages is a house, originally built as three cottages, likely dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, with some 20th-century modifications. The ground floor is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, featuring decorative burnt headers. Above, the timber frame is clad with peg-tiles. The building has brick stacks and chimneyshafts, and a peg-tile roof.

Originally designed as a row of one-room-plan cottages facing southwest, each cottage was a mirror image, with a front door at one end leading to a passage and stair, and a stack for heating at the other. An axial stack was positioned between the central and right-hand former cottages, while a gable-end stack served the left-hand former cottage. The internal arrangement was altered when the three cottages were combined into a single house. The original front doorways were blocked, and a two-storey porch was built on the left end, set back from the front elevation.

The main block has a regular three-window front. Most windows are original small 16-pane sashes, though two ground-floor windows are 20th-century casements with glazing bars. Low segmental brick arches feature over the ground-floor windows, and two of these windows retain old, possibly original, panelled shutters. The roof has a gable end. The interior was not inspected.
