Listed Building: Nos 1 to 14 (consec) MILL ROAD (1039824)

This is a continuous and wavering row of 1 storey rubble-built cottages with steep stone slate roofs stepping down after each 2 or 3. Each cottage has 1 or 2 hipped dormers, some being double fronted. All have very plain low doorways and simple casement windows. Several have old stone chimney stacks, a number brick or brick repaired. No 4 lies at right angles to the road behind No5. (There is a passageway through No 3); it is a full 2 storeys high and its steep gable rises clear above the roof o No 5. At least 1 mullioned window survives. Nos 3 and 5 (together on road front) each have 1 gabled dormer (the only exceptions in the whole row) and there is a moulded dripstone above a small window left of the doorway to No 5. Probably dating from earlier C17, they all appear to be in sound structural condition. As the first mass of building met on entering Oundle from the south (Thrapston Road) these cottages assume greater importance than what is already theirs, by virtue of their general character, overall form and group effect. Nos 1 to 14 (consec) form a group.
