Description

Burn Lane Cottages is a pair of cottages built in the mid to late 19th century. They are rendered and feature a thatched roof that is hipped at both ends, with a rendered stack on the ridge. The cottages are identical and are heated from a central stack. There are tiled lean-tos attached to the left and right ends. The buildings are two storeys tall, with a symmetrical front that has six windows and eaves that rise in a segmental arch at the center. There are 20th-century porches with pyramidal tiled roofs on either side of the front, along with 20th-century front doors. Each cottage has four two-light casements on the ground floor and four similar windows on the first floor, all featuring glazing bars. The interior has not been inspected.
