{1}22-24 Drayton Road owned and maintained by the Drayton Estate for Estate workers. Description as per listing. Cottages survive internally in a seemingly intact state but this may change if a current application on the larger cottage (No 24) is successful. The application requires the fundamental alteration of internal spaces - this is detailed in the appropriate project file.
