Description

Nos 2, 3, 4, and 5 The Street are a range of cottages with origins dating back to the 17th century, with extensions made in the 18th to early 19th centuries.

No. 2, from the late 18th to early 19th century, features walls that are part brick and part plastered cob, topped with a thatched roof and a brick stack. It has two storeys, a part-glazed door set in a rustic timber porch with a tiled roof, two casement windows with glazing bars on the ground floor, and one similar window along with another casement with cast iron lights on the first floor.

No. 3 appears to be from the 18th century, with plastered cob walls resting on a brick base, a thatched roof, and a brick stack. This cottage has one storey and attics, a central ledged door in a timber porch with a tiled roof, two ground floor casement windows with glazing bars, and two dormers in the attic—one with casements featuring glazing bars and the other with cast iron lights.

No. 4 is likely from the 17th century, with plastered cob walls that have a front wall buttressed in brick, a thatched roof, and brick stacks. It has one storey and attics, a central ledged door in a porch with rendered walls and a tiled roof, two ground floor casement windows with cast iron lights, and two dormers in the attic with similar casements.

No. 5 is probably from the 18th century, with walls that are part brick and part plastered cob, and a front wall that is buttressed in brick. It has a thatched roof and a brick stack, one storey and attics, and a part-glazed door. The ground floor features one casement window with glazing bars—possibly in the position of an earlier door—and another casement with cast iron lights. The attic has one dormer with a modern metal casement.

There are later single-storey extensions at the rear of the terrace, making this an attractive group of cottages.
