Description

Three Cottages and Lantern Cottage are two houses dating from the 17th century, featuring a three-bay building with a single bay extension added in 1836, constructed of brick. The original structure is timber framed with whitewashed brick infill, while the right bay has been rebuilt at the front in whitewashed brick. The extension is made of whitewashed flint and brick. The building has an old tile roof that is half-hipped to the right and was formerly thatched. There are two intermediate brick chimneys and another chimney at the front of the right bay.

The houses are one storey with an attic. The three bays on the left have 20th-century three-light barred wooden casements, with upper windows set in flat-roofed eaves-line dormers. There are small irregular casements between the right bays, and a 20th-century gabled porch at the centre. The right bay features a projecting weatherboarded shed or garage with a corrugated iron roof. The right gable has wooden casements and a central four-panelled door topped with a wooden hood supported by cast iron scroll brackets. There is a 19th-century lean-to and extensions from around the 1950s at the rear.
