Description

Pair of 18th or 19th century cottages with attractive elevations to the green. Pair of C18/C19 brick cottages set back from the village green behind hedge. Orientated so that their principal elevations face onto The Green. Two storeys, the buildings sit beneath a gabled roof laid in tile. Mid ridge stack marks the division between cottages. Brick end stacks. Cottage to the right (facing) has symmetrical elevation with central doorway contained within enclosed gabled porch. Cottage to left (facing) does have an irregular elevation which includes a ground floor bay window, but nevertheless maintains the strong void to solid ratio which typifies C19and post C19 buildings. Both buildings despite later alterations present attractive elevations to the green and in terms of their form, massing and outline sit well within their historic context. Local Heritage Assets in conservation area (1).
