Description
Brownlow Cottages is a farmhouse that has been converted into two farm cottages, dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick with ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and a deep basement.
The entrance front is symmetrically arranged with two bays. It has a deep, slightly projecting plinth and ashlar quoins at the corners. In the center, there is a 20th-century staircase with brick side walls that leads up to the ground floor doorway, flanked by blocked basement entrances. The ground floor includes a central half-glazed doorway and lateral 2-light casement windows that have replaced the original sash windows. On the first floor, there is a similar window to the left. The left side of the building also features ashlar quoins and two 2-light casements on both the ground and first floors.
On the right side, there is a projecting single-storey gabled wing to the left, with ground and first floor windows of 2 lights to the right. At the rear, there is a later projecting gabled wing that is two storeys high with two bays and a band dividing the floors. This wing has a hipped roof with 20th-century tiling and a central chimney stack with two flues.
