Description
This cottage, located at 79 New Road, was built in 1876 for the St. Leger estate of Park Hill. It features snecked dressed limestone and a 20th-century tile roof, designed in the Cottage Orne style with a T-shaped plan. The building is single storey with an attic.
The entrance front has three bays, with a central gabled porch supported by rustic wooden posts. The porch includes a scalloped bargeboard with a pendant boss. To the right of the porch are two single-light windows, while to the left is a three-light corner window. The hipped roof has side-facing dormers set under the main ridge, each adorned with bargeboards supported by shaped brackets. A central ridge stack features an ashlar band and coping linked by strips.
On the left return, corner windows flank a recess that holds a date plaque with the St. Leger initials. The dormer here has a three-light window beneath shaped and pierced bargeboards topped with an apex finial. There is also a lower rear wing on the left, which has a hipped roof, a gablet, and a ridge stack. The style of this cottage matches that of No. 64 situated opposite.
