Former workshop is Flemish bond red brick with peg-tile roof.

Plan: Pair of cottages occupying a late C17/early C18 3-room plan house
facing west north west, say north, onto The Green. Greenholme occupies the
left one-room section which has a rear lateral stack (probably an insertion).
Wheelwright Cottage occupies the rest. Centre room has original rear lateral
stack and the right end room has a probably secondary end stack. Large
workshop adjoining right (south) end.

House is 2 storeys with attics in the roofspace.

Exterior: House has regular but not symmetrical 4-window front of C20
casements with rectangular panes of leaded glass. Both cottage front doorways
contain C20 plank-doors with coverstrips under gabled hoods on raking struts.
Tall roof is half-hipped both ends and contains a single front gabled dormer.

The gabled front of the workshop contains a set of part-glazed double doors
with long strap hinges alongside a sash window without glazing bars under a
low segmental brick arch. Gable has decorative pattern of burnt headers and
contains a bullseye window.

Interior: Was not available for inspection at the time of this survey
although some plain carpentry detail was seen.

This pair of cottages form part of an attractive and varied group of listed
buildings fronting The Green.
