Description
Ashbrook Cottage and Bakers Cottage is a house that has been divided into two dwellings. It dates from the mid-17th century and has undergone some alterations in the 20th century. The building features a brick plinth and small timber-framing with brick infill, topped by an old plain-tile roof with two different heights. There are brick ridge stacks located to the left and right of the center, at the junction of the roofs. The structure is two stories tall and has a five-window range. A 20th-century door is located on the right return of a 20th-century brick porch at the center. The windows are irregularly arranged casements. The interiors have not been inspected.
