Description
Grantham Cottage, Cree Cottage, and Bell Cottage are three cottages likely built in the mid-19th century. They are constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with rubble stacks topped with brick and thatched roofs that are hipped at each end. The row consists of three adjoining two-room cottages, each featuring its own axial stack on the right side. The cottages are two storeys high, with a total of nine windows on the front, which include various 20th-century steel and wooden casements.
Grantham Cottage, located on the left, has a door set in a single-storey porch made of rubble on the end wall. Cree Cottage, in the centre, has a door on the right side, while Bell Cottage, on the right, has a door positioned to the right of centre with a 20th-century pantile-roofed porch. Although the internal layout has been modified due to 20th-century updates, some original plain carpentry features remain. If the single bay at the right end is considered secondary, each cottage would have a two-window front, creating a more symmetrical appearance, with Cree Cottage being slightly smaller than the others. The cottages are included for their group value.
