A picturesque pair of farm cottages still associated with the nearby Preston Farm. Set to the E of, and facing, a similarly detailed, but apparently later, cottage block - itself originally 2 properties, since converted into 1 (see separate list entry Nos 6 & 7 Preston Farm Cottages, now 'Brockie's Cottage'). No 8 is used as an office and No 9 is presently unoccupied (August 1998).
