Numbers 22 and 24 Eastcourt are two cottages, probably originally built as one house in the early 18th century. Timber framed with wattle and daub infill, partly replaced by brick, all under a thatch roof. The building has been extended by a half bay at both ends in the 20th century. The framing is 3 panels high with straight corner braces. There are rear additions to both cottages. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1364599 Burbage is a village in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire, it lies about 5½ miles southeast of Marlborough and some 15½ miles west of Newbury. The narrow village High Street was the main north to south road from Marlborough to Andover (A346) until a bypass was built to the west in 1991. Settlement can be traced back to the Neolithic period, and Bronze Age artefacts have been found. Burbage is now essentially a commuter village.
