Description

Church Cottages is a pair of small houses originally built in the 17th to early 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 19th century. No. 1, located on the right, features some timber framing with brick infill on the first floor of the right bay, a weatherboarded right gable and rear, and the rest rebuilt in red brick from the late 18th to early 19th century. The left bay, No. 2, has colourwashed render over chalk and flint. The cottages have a half-hipped thatch roof with three intermediate brick chimneys. They are two storeys tall and consist of four bays. No. 1 has two and three-light wooden windows with single opening metal lights, with three on the ground floor and two on the first floor in the centre bays. There is a boarded door in a gabled rustic porch between the right bays. The left bay features irregular paired and single leaded casements. An entry that matches the original design was added in 1979 as a set back to the left.
