Description

Bickwell Cottages, located on Muttermoor Road, are a pair of old cob cottages dating from the 17th to 18th century. They are built with one and two storeys but are of the same height. The cottages feature a thatched roof with three half-dormers and have two and three-light wood casement windows. One of the entrances is buttressed, indicating that part of the row may have been converted from a barn. The doors are plain cottage-style.
