Sandhills Cottages

Sandhills Cottages are two houses built around 1880 by the architect A.H. Mackmurdo. The cottages feature roughcast walls and a tiled roof with half-hipped gables. Each house is two storeys high and has three bays. The garden front includes a timber verandah with undulating fascia boards and glazed ends, divided by a central partition. The windows are small-paned casements, and each house has central French windows with canted oriel windows above. There are three cross-axial stacks. The side returns have upper weathered boarding above a plaster band, and there is a 20th-century extension to the west.

At the rear, there is a central two-bay wing with a half-hipped gable. The flanking bays are weatherboarded and have a recessed ground floor, while the end bays feature tile-hung first floors. Porches with lean-to roofs are present at the returns of the rear wing. This building is a rare example of work by an important designer of the Arts and Crafts movement.
