Architectural Interest

A row of traditional terraced cottages of comparable scale and form. Their highly decorative red brickwork with striking diaper work and decorative porches, chimneys and dormer windows provide a uniform architectural character to the row. The end terrace properties have a small brick porch and dormers on the side elevation and a distinctive front projecting gable that creates an attractive book-end feature to the row of terraced properties.

Located prominently on the old Harborough to Lutterworth turnpike, these cottages are a local landmark.
