Description
Sixpenny is a group of four cottages, now combined into a single house, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. The construction is of colourwashed chalkstone and sarsen stone, with a thatched roof. Originally, entrances faced west, but now two thatched porches face east. The cottages were originally separate dwellings, each with one bay and a passage, and they are divided from the building at number 33 by an open passage, which is now part of the house. The thatched roof is swept over four flush dormers.
