2 houses. Late C17. Plastered cob on rubble footings; rubble stacks with C19 and
C20 brick tops; thatched roof. Pair of adjoining houses fronting a cobbled lane to
north-east. Both apparently built as a pair of 2-room double depth houses with the
left house having secondary single depth extension on left end front (now converted
to garage). Right hand house has central entrance lobby and end stacks. Axial stack
to left house. Both are 2 storeys. Overall irregular 6-window front of various late
C19 and C20 casements, not all with glazing bars, and including a horizontal-sliding
sash to right of right cottage door. Right house has C19 panelled door with
contemporary flat hood on shaped brackets. Left house has original late C17 2-
fielded panel door. Rear elevation is more balanced. North-west cottage (nearest
the road and still called right cottage) has 2-window front of C19 casements, those
on 1st floor with small glass panes, and central C19 6-panel door with gabled porch,
shaped bargeboards and trellis gable infill. South-east (still called left) has 3-
window front of C20 casements. Right cottage interior includes much original late
C17 work. Entrance hall is lined with alternate plank screens with shallow ogee
mouldings which are only partly exposed. Similar screen partitions on first floor.
Rear left ground floor room has chamfered and scroll-stopped beam and an ashlar
fireplace with curving pentan and plain oak lintel. Several late C17 - early C18
doors, either plank-and-ledge, plank-and-ledge with applied 2-panel front, or 2
fielded panel; most have original H hinges with trefoil terminals or HL hinges.
Roof is inaccessible but lower parts of principals indicate A-frame trusses.
Interior of left cottage not inspected.
