SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: Nos. 4 & 6 Hale Road form a pair of semi-detached late C17 limewashed brick cottages with a thatch and slate roof. Retaining their original floor plan, construction and much of their original fabric (albeit with rebuilt and replaced fireplaces, and repairs to part of the roof in no.6) including boarded doors, horizontal sliding sashes, bevelled oak beams, and winding stair and Queen strut truss roof with surviving side purlins, ridge beam and half-rafters to no.6, nos. 4 & 6 Hale Road are important survivals of modest rural vernacular architecture. As such they fulfil the national criteria for listing.
