Description
East Creech Cottage and The Cottage are a pair of cottages that were originally one house, dating from the late 17th century and altered and enlarged in the 18th century. The cottages have brick walls, with some stone present in the east cottage. They feature a hipped thatched roof and a brick stack positioned just off center. The buildings are one storey high with an attic. Each cottage includes a brick porch with a gabled tiled roof, a round-arched opening, and a ledged door. The Cottage has two casement windows with glazing bars on the ground floor and two dormers with similar casements in the attic. East Creech Cottage has one similar window on each floor.
