Description
Kings Post is a range of four cottages that have now been combined into a pair. They date from the 18th century but may have an earlier core. The exterior is rendered and whitewashed, featuring brick stacks at the ends of the cottages. There is some exposed timber-framing on the right end wall. The building is two storeys high and has a five-window range, with 2-light casements that include glazing bars. Each cottage has a plank door.
