Description

No. 7: C19, brick with slate roof and gable end stacks (one ridgeline, one slightly below ridgeline).
Windows are a mix of 8 over 8 and 6 over 6 timber sliding sashes. The central door is planked timber with a small projecting porch.
No. 6: C19. Pair of cottages, now one house. Small, painted brick with slate roof and gable end stacks. Extremely narrow timbers are visible on the front elevation. These are unlikely to be structural, due to their narrowness, and may be imposed for decorative purposes. Small, leaded light casement windows and a single planked timber door appear to be of considerable age.
No. 5: C19, brick with slate roof. Three large 2 over 2 pane sash windows to upper storey. Timber clad frontage to ground floor comprising traditional multi-pane shop front to left hand side, half glazed panelled timber door with small fascia sign above, large plate glass window to right of door and pair of partially glazed garage doors to right hand side. Projecting, flat, canopy porch across whole frontage.
These houses form a terrace of individual, 2 storey cottages, whose roofs have a distinctive stepped appearance, and which directly abut the pavement edge. The buildings are of both historic and architectural interest, and form a visually important group of buildings which line the High Street as a continuous built frontage. Local note buildings within the Conservation Area of Great Horwood (B1).
