Hook Cottages

Hook Cottages is a pair of cottages built from the extended remains of an older house, dating from the 16th century on the left side and with 19th-century extensions on the right. The left side features exposed timber framing with brick infill above a buttressed brick ground floor. The right side has roughcast infill on the first floor and red and blue brick extensions at the right end. The cottages have plain tiled roofs that step up and are hipped on the left. They are one storey and an attic high, with a diagonal brick eaves course on the right, an end stack on the right, and a rear ridge stack at the junction of the two cottages. The attics have two gabled casement dormers at the eaves, flanking an "eyebrow" dormer on the left side, and two pentice roof dormers on the right. The right end is two storeys high, featuring two first-floor casement windows, one ground-floor casement window on the left, and two on the right. There is a 19th-century door to the left of centre and another boarded door to the right. The left-hand return front has rubble and brick cladding, with the frame exposed at the rear, which includes a pentice roof extension and corner bracing.
