Description
A group of 19th century cottages, which make a positive contribution to the character of the Conservation Area.
Along the northern side of the square are nos. 5 to 15 Main Road. This group of 19th century cottages is staggered down the hillside and closely follows the line of the street. No.5 stands detached and comprises a two storey rendered brick building with an outbuilding attached to its north-eastern gable. The building is orientated to face directly onto the road and is situated close to its edge. Although the central doorway has been blocked and the original windows replaced, the historic outline and symmetrical appearance of the building remains unaltered and make a positive contribution to the character of the Conservation Area. Like 5 Main Road, nos. 7 to 15 Main Road abut the road edge and follow the line of its gentle curve as it bends slightly north-eastwards in its descent of the hill. The terrace is constructed of red brick with buff coloured brick window and door surrounds and decorative diamond motifs on the first floor of the principal elevations. The terrace, which forms a strong focus to views looking northwards across the square from Chapel Lane, creates a hard edge to the street. These are Local Building of Note within the Conservation Area of Drayton Parslow. (B1).
