Numbers 1-7 (Odd) Including Wall And Outbuildings Enclosing Rear Yard

This is a row of four cottages, dated 1904, and including a surrounding wall and outbuildings that enclose a rear yard. The cottages were likely designed by Mr. Johnson of Doncaster for Frederick Montague of High Melton Hall. They are constructed from snicked limestone rubble with a Westmorland slate roof. The design is in the Arts and Crafts style, with a symmetrical elevation and gabled end bays that project forward. Small quoins are present. The windows are recessed and chamfered, with mullions, leaded lights, and iron casements. Each of the end cottages has a moulded, quoined doorway positioned outside of a four-light window, featuring a king-mullion and a dripstone. The doorways have oval lights, dated lintels, and bracketed, cyma-moulded slabs that form canopies. Above the doorways are three-light windows with dripstones. The cottages have shaped kneelers and ashlar gable copings. The recessed central bays feature similar doorways set within segmentally-arched recesses against the gabled projections. Ground floor windows in these bays are covered by a lean-to roof beyond which rise four-light, half-dormers with king mullions. Tapered stacks rise from the front angles of the plan. A central partition wall with copings rises to a short central stack. Projecting end stacks are also present. The rear of the property features a walled yard with a low range of contemporary outbuildings that form the rear wall. Later brick additions to the main range are not considered to be of particular interest.
