Building record 1397300000 - 4-28 Lower Icknield Way, Marsworth

Between the Angler's Retreat and the White Lion are two short rows of terraced cottages built in 1870. They represent the dominant architectural style of the settlement and are therefore particularly important in defining the character of the Conservation Area. Despite some differences in appearance, the terraces share many common characteristics. Both are positioned at the back of the pavement facing directly onto the street, have regular narrow frontages, shallow pitched roofs, and regularly spaced chimneys. Although there have been alterations to some cottages, the form and positioning of the terraces give an overall uniform appearance to the street channelling views east towards the bridge and west to the surrounding countryside. To the rear of these cottages are gardens and fields and the undeveloped nature of this landscape helps to reinforce the characteristic linear quality of the settlement. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Marsworth. (B1).
