Description
Gate Cottages are two attached cottages located on the north side of Main Street in Chideock, dating from around 1810. The cottages have ashlar stone walls that continue from the adjacent building, Fernley. They feature a thatched roof with a gable end on the right side, while the left side of the roof meets below the gable coping. There are two brick stacks positioned left of center at the right gable. The cottages are two storeys high and each has two windows, which are three-light wooden casements with wooden sills. The front of each cottage has a wooden door with two glass panels, both dating from the 20th century, and are sheltered by simple segmental canopies. At the rear, there is an outshut made of rubble stone topped with a Roman tile pentice.
