Description
This is a pair of thatched cottages dating to the 17th-19th centuries, with the cottage on the left likely being the older of the two. The construction is flint with brick dressings, and the roofs are thatched. Each cottage has two bays and a door on the left side. The doors are boarded. Small, leaded windows are set within timber frames. There are stacks (chimneys) in the left gable, on the party wall between the cottages, and in the right bay of the right-hand cottage (No. 28).
