Building record 1483600000 - 1-8 Model Row, Main Road

Row of eight terraced cottages prominently positioned close to the road edge. The building forms part of a group of 19th century labourer’s 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 were typically regular. Despite significant alterations to the fenestration details of each of the individual building within the terrace, the basic form of the terrace with its regularly positioned chimney stack is still instantly recognisable as late 19th century. The buildings are primarily significant in terms of their contribution to the social history of the village and their group value. 'Local Building of Note' within the Conservation Area of Buckland (B1).
