Description

Appletree Cottage, Elm Tree Cottage, and Village Farmhouse are three attached houses built around 1859 by William Butterfield. They are constructed of red brick in English bond with ashlar dressings around the windows and a sill band, topped with a tile roof. The buildings are one and a half storeys high and consist of four bays. Appletree Cottage has its entrance at the left gable end, while Village Farmhouse is accessed at the right gable end. Elm Tree Cottage features an entrance to the left of the center window on the front facade, which includes a plank door and a steeply gabled timber framed porch.

On the ground floor, there are three windows, each with three pointed lights and stone mullions, fitted with iron 6-pane casements. The first floor has a large timber framed panel that rises into a half-hipped dormer in the center, flanked by two small 8-light casements. Each side has a gabled dormer with an 8-light casement, with the right dormer likely being an original frame. The roof is half-hipped, and two chimneys straddle the roof, featuring stepped tumbled-in brickwork.
