19, Loughborough Road - Grade II
Cottage, probably late C16 early C17, refronted later. 2 storeys. Now a 2-unit cottage with a central stack, formerly 2 single unit cottages, though left hand unit appears to be an addition i.e. 1 bay only of original building, which is timber framed. Framing exposed in gable and rear walls, brick skin only to front wall. Gable end framing consists of several continuous posts, arch braced at angles to upper cross beams, and forming 3 principal panels, which are subdivided by a discontinuous middle rail. The rail of the central panel is lower, and above it the end of a cross beam is exposed: the low height of this suggests it may be related to insertion of stairs, but this pattern of framing appears to be a local type. Tall panel framing with arch braces visible at rear.
