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.
Interior not inspected.
