3-7, Church Green

A row of five cottages located on Church Green, Stanford-in-the-Vale. Numbers 3 to 5 represent an 18th-century remodelling of an earlier row dating from the 16th or 17th century, while numbers 6 and 7 are probably 18th-century in origin. The cottages are constructed from coursed limestone rubble, painted white, with thatched roofs and brick stacks. They are single-unit dwellings, presenting a six-window range over two storeys. The windows are mostly 20th-century doors and casements, with the exception of a pair of mid-to-late 19th-century two-light casements to the left of the door at number 3. The roofs are gabled, with two gable-end stacks and two ridge stacks. A 19th-century fixed light casement is located at the rear of number 4. Internally, the cottages feature 18th and 19th-century plank doors. Visible tie beams with pegholes for braces and dovetail joints, tenoned into posts, within part of number 4 indicate that numbers 3 to 5 were originally timber-framed. The lofts are not accessible.
