Building record 1519400000 - Chequers Cottages

Chequers Cottages is a small terrace of workers' cottages, hardly visible from the road. These date from the mid-l9th century and consist of four single bay cottages of chequer brick with flared headers, and slate roofs. The left hand pair have been converted into a single dwelling. They display a pleasing uniformity, set to the back of the plot, despite some inappropriate replacement windows in the central pair. The terrace has a deep front garden, probably a former vegetable plot, but the rear of the properties backs straight onto farmland. They form part of the eastern boundary to the conservation area. Significant buildings within the conservation area of Fingest (B1).
