Description
This is an 18th-century pair of cottages located on Church Lane in Best Wycombe. The cottages have a flint rubble plinth and red and grey brickwork, with the left-hand cottage formerly rendered in roughcast. The roof is tiled and hipped. The cottages are two storeys high with a dummy window on the first floor of the left-hand cottage, and three two-light casement windows with glazing bars on the first floor. A cut bracketed doorhead is present at No. 40A. A single-storey modern wing has been added to the west side of No. 40A, and a slightly recessed two-storey modern wing with one casement window has been added to No. 39. The cottages form a group with Nos. 39A, 40, 41, 41A, 42, 42A, 43, 44, and the Christadelphian Chapel.
