Description
August 1986. Grade II listed.
A row of four 17th/18th century or earlier cottages, with later alterations and additions. From North to South they comprise: 'Baytree Cottage', 'Baytree House', 'Bay Cottage' and 'Baytrees'. The cottages are timber framed and faced with painted brick or rough render. They have red plain tiled roofs, except for Baytrees which has a grey slate roof.
Baytree Cottage and Baytrees, at the far left and right of the range, are lower range. Baytree Cottage has a catslide dormer with a two-light small paned window, two segmental headed windows and a 20th century door. It has a red brick chimney stack. Baytrees has weatherboarding under the vertically sliding sash window and a vertically boarded door.
Baytree House is to the centre left, and Bay Cottage is to the centre right. Each has a red brick chimney stack and the two properties are joined as in a terrace, with a gambrel roof. There are two segmental headed dormer windows to Baytree House and four hipped dormer windows at the South end to Bay Cottage. The Southernmost extent of this end of the terrace may, in fact, be part of Baytrees, indicated by a change in the colouring of the external plaster, and the external appearance of the Southernmost three dormers.
The terrace has a six-window range, made up of various vertically sliding sash windows with glazing bars, including two three-light bay windows at the Southern end, probably part of Baytrees. Bay Cottage has a four-panelled door with pediment and Baytree House has a 20th century part-glazed door with round headed doorway. <1> <2>
