Description

A group of 19th century semi-detached cottages which have been altered and extended. The best preserved of this group of buildings are 3 and 4, called Grooms Cottage. This attractive brick building is two storeys in height and, like its neighbours, orientated to face gable-on to the road. The gable is quite wide and contains two casement windows on each floor situated beneath buff coloured brick arched lintels. Particularly eye-catching are the attractive decorative bargeboards. Like its neighbours Grooms Cottage is situated a short distance back from the road but is separated from it by a brick wall. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Crafton (B1).
