Description

The Cottages is a 19th-century terrace of two-storey, one-bay cottages located on the north side of Little Missenden Village. The cottages are constructed of red brick with some grey headers and feature a slated roof that is hipped at each end. The flat gauged brick openings are present on Nos 5 and 6, while the remaining cottages have cambered openings. Each cottage has recessed barred sash windows and flush four-panel doors. The pairs of cottages are handed, with shared stacks located between cottages 4 and 5, and 2 and 3, along with end stacks.
