Description

Church Cottages are a pair of semi-detached estate cottages, likely built in the mid-19th century. They feature brick walls and tiled roofs, with some areas of fish scale tiling. The cottages are two storeys high and have a central brick chimney set diagonally. Each cottage has a partially glazed door beneath a gauged arch. On the ground floor, there is one casement window with cast iron glazing, also under a similar arch. The first floor has two similar casement windows. These cottages are an unspoilt example of their type.
