New Cottages – Not listed
This typically attractive pair of late Victorian estate cottages built in stone with brick dressings were built by the Maristow Estate. They were designed with gardens of a productive size, but the historic layout has been lost due to the modern detached infill development in the garden of number 1. The assertive suburban fencing enclosure of this development is at odds with the prevailing historic character.

New Cottages are depicted on the modern mapping.
