Description
A row of three, two-storey cottages dated circa 1800, located on Middle Street in West Harhham. The cottages are principally of red brick, although numbers 5 and 6 have been stuccoed. The roof is gabled and covered with old tiles. The first floor of each cottage originally had a single window, with the exception of number 7, which had two. The ground floor also originally had one window each, but number 6 now has two later 19th-century sash windows. The fenestration has largely been altered over time; however, number 7 retains a sash and casement window on the first floor with original glazing bars. The glazing bars have been restored in number 8. Modern doors provide access to the cottages, and the entrances to numbers 7 and 8 are located in a passage.
