Building record 1396900000 - 5 & 6 Estate Cottages, Middle Claydon

Adjacent to Ballams, are a pair of semi-detached 19th century estate cottages. Set some distance back from the road behind long narrow front gardens, the cottages, which face onto the street, are one and a half storeys and are constructed of patterned brickwork with vitrified headers. Views of the principal elevations are glimpsed over the garden gates in the front boundary hedge, and views from the north-east reveal the outline of the tiled roof, gabled dormers and prominent brick chimney stacks. The cottages sit within rather than define the landscape and their incomplete outline, partially obscured by trees and hedges, help to reinforce the rural setting of the village. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Middle Claydon. (B1).
