Full Description

The following text is from the original listed building designation:
TQ 56 43 BIDBOROUGH HIGH STREET (south end)
11/18 1 and 2 Sycamore Cottages
GV II
Pair of cottages. Probably early C19, perhaps earlier. Framed construction, the ground floor hung with painted clay tiles, the first floor weatherboarded; peg-tile roof; brick stacks.
Plan: Single depth north-facing range, 3 rooms wide with a possibly original rear right wing and additional rear service rooms. The 2 right hand rooms probably share the axial stack to right of centre, the left end room is heated from a left end stack. Front doors to left of centre and at right end.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front with regular fenestration. Post-1956 porch to the left hand door (National Monuments Record photograph). 2- and 3-light C19 or early C20 timber casements with glazing bars. Gable- ended roof, stacks with corbelled brick cornices.
Interior: No access to interior at time of survey (1988). Features of interest may survive and an interior inspection might necessitate revising the suggested date.
