The terrace (Park Cottages) incorporate medieval stonework and may be a former barn.

Park cottages on Kinsey's Lane may be linked with the manor site. Now a row of sandstone cottages, it was formerly a stable or barn, at least in part, since there is a blocked circular pitch hole in the north-west gable.

Window and door openings cut out from pre-existing stonework. Small timber casement windows and ledged and battened front doors unaltered in three cottages.
