Mosses Wood Cottages

Mosses Wood Cottages are two cottages located on Abinger Road in Coldharbour. They date from the 17th century, with an 18th-century front and 20th-century extensions. The cottages are timber framed, with the front clad in sandstone rubble and brick dressings, and tile hung above. They have plain tiled roofs and a T-shaped plan, featuring a gable end wing on the right side.

The cottages are two storeys tall, with a tall end stack on the left and a larger, panelled stack at the right of the centre where it meets the wing. The first floor has two horizontally sliding sash windows in the centre and one casement window in the gabled wing. On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century bow windows on either side of a single light casement window, with a small square window to the right.

Access to the cottages is through doors located on the left-hand return front in the 20th-century extension and in the ground floor of the gable, which is sheltered by a flat hood on braces. The frame is exposed at the rear. Inside, there are deep brick fireplaces, with a smaller one upstairs, and the framing is exposed, showing windbracing in the roof.
