Row of 4 cottages. Late C18 shippons converted to cottages in mid
C19. Red English garden wall bond brick with slate roof. Cottages
divided by prominent transverse walls with large ridge stacks. 3 left
hand cottages of 3 bays. Symmetrical, central doorway with 3-light
casement windows to left and right of ground and first floors. Right
hand cottage has one 3-light casement window and an offset chimney-
stack of 2 flues. Right hand gable end has 4-light oriel to ground
floor with two 2-light casements above. C19 wing to right, slightly
recessed. Front door with one-light casement above 2-flue chimney
stack to right of this with off sets. One-storey connecting wing to
2-storey cottage of brick with recessed panels of rendered infill.

The conversion of these cottages from a shippon in the C19 appears, on
grounds of style, to have been the work of William White who is
acredited with the design of the Chaplain's Cottage (not listed) at
Arley Green which formerly exhibited similar characteristic
fenestration. The tall, boldly moulded, chimney stacks are also
characteristic of his style.
