Description
This is a pair of 17th-century cottages located on the west side of West Borough. They are constructed with brick walls and have a thatched roof, topped with brick stacks. The cottages are one storey tall with attics. Originally, the ground floor contained two ledged doors. The windows now include a modern three-light timber casement with leaded lights, and a two-light casement with leaded lights. Three dormers light the attic space, each featuring casement windows with leaded lights. The cottages may have originally been a single dwelling.
