Honour Oak, Thrush Cottage And Westward Cottage

A row of three cottages, dating from the late 17th century, with later additions and alterations. The construction is of roughly coursed and banded limestone and marlstone rubble, with a slate roof featuring coped verges to the left gable end and plain tiles to the right part, which is hipped at the corner. The cottages appear to have been built in four sections, marked by three straight joints to the front.

The left-hand cottage, Honour Oak, has two 2-light chamfered mullion windows directly below the eaves, the left window featuring a dripstone. A boarded door with a glazed panel is to the left, and a 3-light mullion window with a dripstone is to the right. The right side has an infilled doorway with a 20th-century casement inserted in its blocking, and a straight joint to the right. The central cottage, Thrush Cottage, has a 3-light chamfered mullion window with a dripstone on each floor, the first-floor window directly below the eaves, and a boarded door with a glazed panel to the right. Westward Cottage has a chamfered 3-light mullion window with a dripstone below the eaves and a 2-light 20th-century mullion window on the ground floor to the left. It also features a boarded door with a glazed panel to the right.

An eastward extension to the right of the straight joint has two late 20th-century casements with wooden lintels on each floor, one to each side of a further straight joint, and a lower right position where an infilled doorway once stood. There are three ridge stacks: one of 20th-century brown brick, one of red brick, and another rendered and rebuilt in 20th-century brick above the dripstone of an earlier stack, situated at the junction between the left part of Westward Cottage and the first extension to the right. Some mullion windows are present on the back wall, which also has various 19th-century lean-tos attached. There are 20th-century sloping roof-lights to the front. These cottages form a notable group with Nos. 1 and 2 Babby Alley.
