Description

A terrace of four estate cottages dating to 1867, located on Yellowham Hill near Puddletown. The cottages are constructed of brick with slate roofs and have two brick stacks set in from each end. Each cottage is two storeys high and features a ledged door with a fanlight, both sheltered by a hoodmould. The ground floor of each cottage has a three-light stone mullioned window beneath a hoodmould, with cast iron glazing. The first floor has one two-light and one single-light stone mullioned window, similarly hooded. Single-storey porches, built in matching materials, are positioned at each end of the terrace.
