Pair of cottages. Dated 1799 at
1st floor. Knapped flint with red brick quoins and dressings,
red tile roof.
Double-depth plan, each cottage single-fronted. Two storeys and
4 bays over a very high basement, symmetrical, with
segmental-headed raised doorways in the outer bays approached by
flights of 7 steps parallel to the wall and protected by simple
bar railings; the lower part of the basement wall is rendered
and painted white (as are the outsides of the steps) and has 2
small windows with altered glazing, and the upper part has 2
small horizontal inserted windows; the ground floor has 2
segmental-headed 12-pane sashed windows with brick surrounds,
and the 1st floor has 2 similar windows above these, blind
windows in the outer bays, and a roundel in the centre with
render inscribed "1799", all with brick surrounds. Half-hipped
roof with projecting eaves and central chimney stack.
The left return wall has a very
small attic window in the gable; the right-hand return wall has
a blocked segmental-headed opening to the basement, a blocked or
blind window on each floor above, and a 2-light attic window in
the gable, but is otherwise covered by the adjoining building.
The rear has a full-height weather-boarded extension.
