Description

Nos. 13 and 15 on The Folly are two attached cottages dating from the mid-18th century or earlier. They were refenestrated in the 20th century and feature flint and rubble walls with brick quoins, including a rounded corner at the north-west. The cottages have a thatched roof with eyebrow dormers and 20th-century brick stacks located at the left gable, the ridge center, and the right-hand gable. The buildings are 1½ storeys high and have five windows, which are 2-light wooden casements with horizontal glazing bars and wooden cills. The window dressings are made of brick and were added in the 20th century. There are plank doors situated to the left and right of the center, featuring brick-dressed jambs.
