Description
Oak Villas is a pair of cottages dating from the 18th century. They are two storeys high and have roughcast frontages. The central section of the cottages has a jetty, and the roofs are steep with slate covering, decorative bargeboards, and brick stacks placed mid-way along the rear roofline. Each cottage features paired casement windows on the first floor and three-light casement windows on the ground floor. The doors are a mix of boarded and panelled styles, set within simple surrounds.
