Description
Numbers 1, 2, and 3 Folly Cottages are a farmhouse that has been converted into three houses. The building dates back to the 17th century and was remodeled in the 18th century, likely around 1730, with a later cross wing and other alterations. It is constructed of limestone rubble with a rendered cross wing and features double Roman tiled roofs, including a stone ridge stack on the main range. The layout is T-shaped, possibly originally designed with a through passage.
The cottages are two storeys tall and have three windows, which are all irregularly spaced sashes in exposed boxes with timber lintels. The ground floor includes a door with a 20th-century gabled porch to the left, a half-glazed door to the right, and three sashes in between, along with a 20th-century plate-glass window at the far right. There is one sash window located between the floor levels to the right and two 20th-century dormers. The front left wing is lower and two-storey, featuring a 20th-century French window and a dormer on the inner side, a two-light casement in the gable end, and a large stack. The gable end of the later cross wing on the far left has a 20th-century plate-glass window on both the ground and first floors, along with a half-glazed door.
On the right return, there is a two-light casement at attic level and a single-storey addition with garage doors in the gable end. The left return has a hipped roof on the main range, while the cross wing has two 20th-century windows and a half-glazed door, as well as two 20th-century dormers. The rear of the building features irregular fenestration, with three two-light casements at the first floor at different levels, one to the left with a timber lintel, a half-glazed door to the left, another door to the right with a single light on each side, and a 20th-century two-light casement to the right. The inner side of the cross wing has a 20th-century plate-glass window at ground floor level, a two-light dormer, and a single-storey lean-to on the right. The interior has not been inspected.
