Description
A row of four cottages, likely originally charity housing, dates from the mid to late 18th century. The cottages are constructed of red and vitreous brick, with red brick quoins and window surrounds. A first-floor band course is present, and the plinth is whitewashed and rendered. The roof is tiled, and there is a brick chimney at the rear of the central cottages. The building is one storey and attic, with four bays. The ground floor has six casement windows with segmental heads, and the first floor has four windows within gabled dormers. Some diamond leading is present on the windows, but some is missing. Four board doors are present, each with a segmental head.
