St Marys Cottage

This is a late 18th-century house, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It was extended into No. 60 Marygate in the 20th century. The house is constructed of orange-brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a timber doorcase, guttering on paired block brackets, and a pantile roof with brick stacks. It has a central entrance hall plan.

The front of the house has a two-story, three-window facade. The doorcase features reeded pilasters and a flat cornice hood supported by elongated reeded brackets, sheltering a deeply recessed glazed and panelled door above three steps. The door is topped with a radial fanlight within a round-arched architrave that includes a fluted transom. The windows on either side of the door are 16-pane sashes. Similar windows are on the first floor, flanking a re-painted blind 12-pane window. All windows are set within flat arches of rubbed brick. The left return has a 12-pane staircase sash window with a cambered arch of orange rubbed brick to the first floor. A defaced datestone is located in the gable apex.

The interior ground floor features an entrance hall and a left room with coved cornices. The right room has a reeded cornice. A round-arched opening leads to a straight staircase with a ramped-up handrail; the first-floor landing balusters are concave sided stick type. The first floor bedrooms both contain fireplaces in plain surrounds with moulded mantelshelves. One fireplace has a late 19th-century round-headed grate with guilloche-type mouldings, and the other has a later C19 grate.
