II

built out at the rear to make it double depth. No.2 Rectory Cottage at the centre
has a 2-room plan, No.1 to its right has a 1-room plan - they may originally have
been a 3-room-and-through-passage plan house.

with projecting lateral stack to left-hand side and C20 2-light casement to right on
1st floor with 3-light late C19 or early C20 casement below. To its left is C20
timber lattice open-fronted porch with C19 4 panel door behind. Nos. 1 and 2
Rectory Cottages have asymmetrical 3-window front, 2 to No.2 to left which are C20
2-light casements. C20 part-glazed door to right of centre. No.2 to right has late
