Late 16th century timber-framed house.

Pair of cottages, formerly a small house of the late 16th century. It is timber-framed and rendered with some exposed framing and black weatherboarding on south end. The house is one storey with attics and a half hipped thatched roof. The front has one off-centre large eyebrow dormer and two very small brick ridge line stacks. The windows are 19th and 20th century small pane casements and No. 9 has a 20th century rear extension. It is a former small open hall house with 17th century inserted floors. There are straightish internal plank wall bracing and arched braces to tie beams, with remnants of diamond mullions windows. The roof is of simple rafter/collar form, but with short side purlins tenoned into gablet rafters. The north east bay are 17th to 18th century extensions, with a 20th century lean-to extension on the south-west end. <1> See: <2>
