Description
Drive Cottages is a range of three houses that have been combined into one dwelling, dating from the mid-18th century. The building is constructed of brick and features a thatched roof. It stands two storeys tall and has nine irregular bays. The ground floor retains four 18th-century two-light cross casements, along with three 20th-century windows, one blind bay, and a blocked central door. There is a moulded platband between the storeys. The first floor is illuminated by five 18th-century two-light cross casements and one 20th-century window. The gabled roof has gables supported by kneelers, and there are internal end stacks.
