Description
Howard's, Halcyon Cottage, and Sunnyside House are a row of three cottages, possibly originally four, dating from the mid 17th century to the early 18th century. They feature rendered and plastered cob walls and a gable-ended thatch roof, with three brick axial stacks. The differing plan forms suggest that the cottages may have developed sequentially. Howard's is definitely from the 17th century and has a larger heated room on the left and a small service room on the right. Halcyon Cottage has a single room plan, while Sunnyside currently consists of three rooms, with the right-hand room having been a shop, though it may have formerly been two cottages.
The exterior is two storeys high. Howard's has a regular two-window front with 20th-century one, two, and three-light casements, and a 20th-century part-glazed door to the right of centre, sheltered by a thatch door hood. Halcyon Cottage features an asymmetrical two-window front with 20th-century sashes that lack glazing bars and a 20th-century part-glazed door to the left. Sunnyside has a long asymmetrical three-window front with late 19th-century four-pane sashes on both the first and ground floors, except for a late 19th or early 20th-century shop front to the right. There is a 19th-century panelled and part-glazed door to the left of centre. The first-floor windows have gables in thatch above, adorned with decorative bargeboards.
Inside, Howard's has an open fireplace that appears to have been rebuilt but features an ovolo-moulded wooden lintel, suggesting a 17th-century date. The feet of rough straight principal rafters are visible on the first floor. The listing also includes decorative 19th-century iron railings surrounding the garden area at the right end of Sunnyside.
