Description

A pair of semi-detached single bay cottages in plain brick with a tile roof. They have little exterior decoration save flat arched headers over the ground floor windows, dentil eaves and a decorative chimney stack and pots, but their puritan appearance adds to their charm, and contrasts with the adjoining dwellings. They are considered important within the conservation area. The pair are set back from the road and have partly-hedged front gardens. A significant building within the conservation area of Fingest (B1).
