Description

Lantern Cottage and Pennies are two houses. Lantern Cottage has a 17th-century rear wing that has been altered, with a mid-19th-century front section. Pennies, situated to the left, dates from the early 19th century, and has also been altered. The houses are built of colourwashed brick with old tile roofs and brick chimneys.

The front ranges are two storeys high. Pennies features a narrow first-floor band course, two bays of three-light wooden casements, and a single light in a blocked doorway on the right. It has a 20th-century door with a gabled hood to the left of centre, and a garage door to the left. The front bay of Lantern Cottage has a four-pane sash window on the ground floor, a three-light wooden casement above, and a 20th-century door in the right side.

The rear range of Lantern Cottage incorporates a two-storey gabled bay to the left, with three-light wooden casements and a blind attic panel. To the right are two lower bays of one storey and an attic, with paired barred wooden casements, some of which are located in gabled eaves-line dormers. A large 17th-century chimney is situated between the right bays. Pennies is included in the listing due to its group value.
