Description
These are two cottages, originally built as three, dating from the late 18th century. The cottages are constructed of brick; the left-hand cottage uses an English bond pattern, while the right-hand cottage features a Flemish bond pattern. Some of the bricks have flared headers. The roofs are thatched with gable ends, and there are brick stacks at each end. The cottages have two storeys and five windows across the front. The windows are casements with horizontal glazing bars. The right-hand cottage has a wooden porch, and both cottages have glazed doors. Number 86 has a single-storey extension to the left.
