Description
This is a pair of thatched cottages located on the west side of Sheepwash North Street, dating from the early 18th century with 19th-century additions. The cottages feature plastered cob walls and a gable-ended thatch roof, supported by two gable-end brick stacks. The building has two storeys and a regular three-window front, arranged in a 2:1 pattern, with 19th or early 20th-century one and two-light casements. At the center, there are two adjoining part-glazed doors from the late 19th or early 20th century. The cottages maintain a very unspoilt appearance. The interiors were inaccessible at the time of the survey.
