Description
Penny Cottage is a pair of cottages that may have originally been one house, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century. They are built with rubble stone walls and feature thatched roofs, with a brick stack at the left end and a central stone stack. The cottages are one storey high with attics.
No. 34 has a part-glazed ledged door. The ground floor includes one horizontally sliding sash window with glazing bars and shutters, positioned under a flat stone arch. In the attic, there are two dormers: one with casements and the other with horizontally sliding sashes, both featuring glazing bars.
No. 36 has a ledged door in an altered opening. Its ground floor has one casement window and one horizontally sliding sash window, both with glazing bars and located under flat stone arches. The attic has one dormer with horizontally sliding sashes that also have glazing bars.
