Description
Glenside and Brookside is a pair of cottages, originally four, dating from the 18th century. The cottages are constructed with roughcast over cob and feature a thatched roof that is half hipped to the left and hipped to the right. There is a brick stack set in the left gable end and a pair of stacks set in from the right gable end.
The building is one and a half storeys high and has four bays. The dormers contain six-pane sash windows, while the ground floor features three-light casements, including three 20th-century leaded casements on the left and two 19th-century casements with glazing bars on the right. There is also an irregularly placed small two-light window to the left of the extreme right entrance.
The cottages have four entrances flanked by windows. The two entrances on the left have 20th-century tiled, gabled, enclosed glazed porches that rest on dwarf walls, while the two entrances on the right have plank doors with tiled, 19th-century gabled hoods. Decorative ridge tiles and bargeboards are supported by decorative wooden brackets. The interior has not been viewed.
