Description
Two cottages, likely originating as a single house, were probably built in the early 18th century and dated 1797 to the centre. The cottages are constructed of cob with a thatched roof and have brick end stacks and a ridge stack to the right of the centre. They are single-storey with an attic, featuring a 4-window front. A plank door is located to the left of centre, and another to the right of centre. The windows are casements and are irregularly placed. Four swept dormers are visible. The interiors were not inspected.
