Description
Nos. 3 and 4 Parrett Works Cottages are the central pair in a row of six cottages built in the mid-19th century. They are constructed from ham stone rubble and feature double Roman clay tile roofs with brick chimney stacks. The cottages are two storeys high and consist of two bays each. The windows are casements set in segmental-arched openings; No. 3 has two-light horizontal-bar windows above and three-light windows below, while No. 4 has small-pane casements. Each cottage has a door in a segmental-arched opening in the lower bay, with No. 3 featuring a 20th-century glazed door and No. 4 having a boarded door. There are projections at the rear of the cottages. The interiors have not been seen. These cottages are associated with the Parrett Iron Works, which was established on the site of an earlier mill around 1855.
