Description

Pair of C19 cottages. Pair of C19 cottages prominently positioned along the eastern side of Townsend, helping to enclose the space formed by the junction. Both buildings have been extended and altered, but they do retain elements of their original character in terms for form and construction materials. Two storeys with shallow pitched gable roof paid in slate. Constructed of red/orange bricks with buff coloured bricks used to articulate openings and for quoins. The combination of different coloured bricks creates an eye-catching contrast and is a decorative technique found in other C19 buildings located around the village. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (1).
