Description
Holly Tree Cottage and Cavendish Cottage are two adjoining houses located in Latimer Village, dating from the 17th century and later. Holly Tree Cottage is a timber-framed house, while Cavendish Cottage features brick additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. The buildings are two stories tall, except for the front range of Holly Tree Cottage, which is 1½ stories. They have old tile roofs.
Holly Tree Cottage is finished in colourwashed roughcast with exposed timber-framing on the upper storey. It has three bays positioned at right angles to the road, featuring a central stack made of old thin bricks. The front range has two bays with three-light leaded casements and gabled upper windows that include ornamental bargeboards, with a stack of old thin bricks to the right.
Cavendish Cottage has a pentice verandah supported by posts facing the road, and a dormer window in the hipped gable elevation of the front range. Below this, there is a three-light casement window with a hood mould. At the rear, there is a two-storey gabled block.
