South Bank Cottages

These are three cottages, originally probably dating from the late 18th century, and altered in the mid-19th century for Rowland Egerton Warburton. The cottages are situated on the South side of South Bank, Great Budworth. The building incorporates elements from several periods. A one-storey, one-room wing to the left is constructed of brick nogged to an oak frame, likely dating from the mid-17th century, and has a clay tile roof. The main block is two storeys plus an attic, with three windows, constructed of brown brick in an English garden wall bond. A two-storey, one-room mid-20th century extension is set back on the right. The replacement oak-boarded door is set within a porch and has two windows to the right, with three 2-pane lights. A window to the left of the door has five lights, and a window in the left wing has three lights. All windows have wood mullions and are set under cambered brick arches in the main block. There are two oak-framed gabled dormers in the style of the Arley estate. A flush brick chimney is on the left gable; a square chimney on the ridge between the central and right rooms has four separated chamfered flues. The interior of the left cottage has been altered, but retains some oak beams. The interiors of the central and right cottages were not accessible for inspection.
