Barnfield Cottages are a terrace of eight early 20th century single-storey concrete dwellings with adjacent outhouses, built to a very similar architectural design as Woodfield Cottages (EHER 38249).

2005. Field survey. Barnfield Cottages are a terrace of eight early 20th century single-storey concrete dwellings with adjacent outhouses, built to a very similar architectural design as Woodfield Cottages (EHER 38249). Common features include the level of provision, i.e. two small ground floor rooms providing living and sleeping accommodation, the detached sanitary and washing facilities, the provision of a communal source of fresh water and their construction, using solid concrete walls finished with a covering of smooth render. Each unit was originally lit by vertical sliding sash windows, but survival within both cottages and outhouses is limited. The roofs are all gable ended and covered with Courtrai clay tiles. <1> Note: This record was formerly mapped with a polygon which included Nos 1-3 Petersfield Terrace but this has been refined to include only Barnfield Cottages.
