Briar Cottage the Maltings

Two houses, late 18th or early 19th century, and subsequently altered. The houses are constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with some blue headers, and returns of flint with brick dressings. They have a plain tile roof. The properties are two storeys with an attic, and are four bays wide. Each house has a six-panel front door, with the top two panels glazed, and No. 3’s door features console brackets supporting a hood. The windows are four-pane sashes, although the window to the right of No. 2’s door has been replaced with a smaller-paned, canted bay window. Segmental brick arches frame the ground-floor openings. The eaves step down and have dentil details. The roof is half-hipped at the right end, and there is a gabled dormer window on No. 2. Two brick ridge stacks are present. A single-storey brick addition at the left end includes a garage door, a sash window with six panes, and a stack on the front roof pitch. The left return shows a four-pane attic window, while the right return features a four-light attic window with side-sliding sashes and small panes.
