Built in 1743 as a single unit but apparently always a pair of separate dwellings. The original building was the lower section, originally a single storey building, the upper floor being added in the 19th century. No.30 is nearest the camera; no.32 originally comprised the part beyond the central chimney stack, and has a datestone inscribed 1743. To this was added the higher part of the building sometime in the 19th century. Listed Grade II as a single unit.

The oldest part is dated 1743 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1307355?section=official-list-entry

Built as a yeoman's manor house and dated 1610 and 1613. Timber framed structure with brick infill panels, largely in herringbone style. The roof is formed from graduated Swithland slates. The house was substantially restored in 1935 after being purchased by Sir Frank Craven. The restoration included the replacement of wattle and daub infill of the framing with the present brickwork; the bricks themselves are not of standard dimensions and could well be older reused bricks. The jutting wing at this end of the house is from this period as well. Listed Grade II.
