Description

Church Cottages, dating from the 18th century, feature a refronting of a 17th-century timber-framed structure. The building has exposed timbers at the rear and internally, and is constructed from flint rubble with red brick dressings and an old tile roof. It is two stories high and consists of five bays. The three bays on the right have paired wood mullion casements, while the two bays on the left have modern three-light casements, all with cambered heads. The entrance is located in the third bay, in front of an old stack made of thin bricks, and at the south end, there is an original three-shaft stack with stepped brick cornice bands.
