Description
Brook Cottage and Oldstream Cottage are likely 17th century buildings located at 24 and 26 Park Street in Dunster. They feature colourwashed rough-cast exteriors with thatched and tiled roofs, and stone chimney stacks at each end. Both cottages are two storeys high.
Oldstream Cottage (No 24) has two eyebrow dormer windows, one with three lights and the other with two lights, both made of metal casements with leaded lights. The ground floor has three two-light metal casements with leaded lights and a deep recessed doorway with a plain boarded door. Brook Cottage (No 26) has one dormer window and one three-light casement on the ground floor, along with a modern thatched door hood.
These cottages are part of a charming group of thatched buildings that lead down to the River Avill and Gallox Bridge.
