Description
Nos. 38 and 39 on The Green are a pair of cottages dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with extensions added in the early 19th and 20th centuries. They feature timber framing with brick infill and brick construction, topped with old plain-tile roofs and brick gable stacks. The cottages have single-unit plans with added rear outshuts and extensions, and they stand one storey plus attics.
The timber-framed front of the earlier section has two windows. On the left, No. 38 has a plank door and a three-light casement window. The former doorway to No. 39 has been converted into a window, with an additional 20th-century casement window to the right. The roof includes two gabled dormers with two lights each.
To the left, there is a single-storey, gable-fronted extension from the early 19th century made of buff brick. To the right, there is a large late 20th-century brick extension that breaks forward and returns to the rear. The rear of the main range has also been extended, likely in the early 19th century, and features a shallower-pitched roof. The interior has not been inspected. The cottages are included for their group value.
