Description
A range of three cottages, now combined into two dwellings, dating to the 17th century with alterations in the 18th century. The construction is a mix of brick, flint, and rubble, with a thatched roof. The roof has a brick stack at one end and a ridge stack towards the other. The cottages are two storeys high, with an irregular arrangement of three windows. The windows are 19th-century cast-iron casements with glazing bars. A plank door is located in a porch on the left-hand side, near the centre.
