Scope and Content Circa 1835 single storey with attic row of cottages, altered after a fire circa 1990. The cottages are listed as having ‘thatched roof with striking thatched eyelid dormerheads over attic windows’. The reed-thatched roof, which is entirely netted, has a concrete ridge that extends below each of the chimney stacks at both the gable ends and along the ridge. There is an amount of mossy vegetation growth across the surface of the thatch, which is particularly dense across the dormerheads and along the eaves, and there are loose pieces of thatch throughout that have been held to the roof due by the netting.
