Pair of cottages built circa 1919 as a First World War memorial. Red brick with stone ashlar dressings; brick stacks and chimneyshafts; diaper tile roof.

Plan: Pair of mirror-plan cottages facing south east on a bank above the road. Overall T-plan building. In the main block each cottage has 2 rooms either side of a large axial stack serving back-to-back fireplaces. Each end are projecting gable-end stacks. In the centre each cottage has a one-room plan parlour projecting forward under parallel roofs.

Single storey.

Exterior: Symmetrical 1:2:1-window front of timber casements containing rectangular panes of leaded glass, the front parlour ones are taller with mullions and transoms. The doorways are at the back of the outer walls of the front parlour wing (both contain replacement part-glazed doors),and are sheltered by flat roofed verandahs across the front of the main block and carried on brick piers. Main block roof is gable-ended. The front parlour wing has a double-gabled front end with stone coping and there is a stone band across the front at eaves level which is inscribed in Roman serif capitals "In memory of those who fell in the War, 1914-1918". Between the windows below are 3 plaques inscribed with the names of the dead of the parish and these are cleverly framed by the dividing iron rainwater drainpipes.

Interior: Not inspected.

This pair of attractive cottages make an unusual but useful war memorial.
