Description

Sutton Cottages is a 16th-century building that was likely the original manor house and has since been converted into three cottages. The structure is two storeys tall with an attic, featuring four windows and one dormer. It is faced with flints and has stone quoins. The roof is half-hipped and covered with slate. The windows are casement style, each with stone dripstones above them. There is a round-headed stone doorway that also has a dripstone. A 19th-century addition is located at the back of the building.
