Description

Nos. 7 and 8 on Main Street are a pair of cottages built in the mid-19th century. They are constructed from banded brick and flint and feature a shallow pitched slate roof with a central brick chimney. The cottages are symmetrical, standing two storeys high with a four-window range. Each cottage has two-light casement windows with glazing bars. The entrance on the right is a part-glazed door, while the left side has a plank door. These cottages are part of a group of largely unspoilt estate cottages.
