6, 6A And 6B And Attached Walls To Front Garden

This building, known as Nos. 6, 6A, and 6B, along with the attached walls to the front garden, is a house that has been divided into two separate units. It likely dates from the 18th century or earlier. The structure features a rendered mass wall and a thatched roof with a plain ridge, gabled at both ends. There are end stacks and an axial stack, with the left end projecting and having a brick shaft with old pots, while the axial stack has a stone base leading to a 20th-century brick shaft. The right end also has a 20th-century brick shaft.

The building's plan consists of two phases. The left side has a single-depth main block that is two rooms wide, with a central entrance passage. The adjoining cottage on the right has a higher roofline and a doorway to the left.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front featuring three windows on the left and one on the right. The left side has a central 20th-century timber front door flanked by 20th-century timber windows set in large embrasures, along with three first-floor two-light small-pane timber casements. The right cottage has a 19th-century recessed six-panel door to the right, complete with an overlight that has glazing bars, and one tall timber casement window on both the ground and first floors, featuring small panes. The front gardens are enclosed by local red breccia rubble garden walls.

The interior has not been inspected but may still have interesting features. This building is part of a small group of vernacular buildings that predate the 19th century in the Preston area.
