Description
Nineteenth century cottage in Wellcroft
Simple two storey cottage probably dating from the 19th century. Attached to 16 Wellcroft. Like 16, Wellcroft, the building is positioned hard up to the back edge of the pavement and forms a continuous building line with its neighbour. Shallow pitched gable roof, laid in modern tiles. The ridgeline runs parallel with the carriageway. Brick end stack. Walls are rendered. Original windows have been replaced with modern units and the openings (at least on the first floor) may well have been enlarged.
The building has been highlighted as being of local note largely because of its group value. If forms part of a group of 19th century buildings which represent a period of expansion and development within the village. It was during this period that Wellcroft itself was developed from a former track. Despite alterations the building retains its original form, massing, scale and outline. A local note building within the conservation area of Ivinghoe (B1).
