Description

Blenheim Cottage was originally two cottages. The buildings are thought to date from the mid-19th
century. The building forms part of a group of 19th century labourers cottages built in the village at the time of agricultural prosperity reflecting a need to provide accommodation for an increased work force. The buildings within this group are typically constructed of brick, were semi-detached or terraced and are simple in their original layout and form. The majority have relatively shallow pitched gabled roofs laid or formerly laid in slate and fenestration patterns are regular. A 'Local Building of Note' within the Conservation Area of Buckland (B1).
