23-29, COTTAGE ROAD

This is a terrace of four cottages located at 23-29 Cottage Road in Far Headingley, built around 1860. The cottages are constructed from coursed squared gritstone and feature small blue slates on the roof. They are two storeys high with four first-floor windows. The buildings have quoins, and each cottage has an entrance on the left side, with a plain stone surround and a glazed door that includes an overlight; some cottages have added porches. To the right of each entrance, there are windows on both the ground and first floors, featuring 6-pane frames with plain stone surrounds and a continuous sill band at the first-floor level. Each cottage has a banded chimney stack positioned forward of the ridge on the right side, as well as another stack at the rear. The interior has not been inspected. These cottages are an example of the groups built on Headingley Moor after the enclosure in 1831, although this particular example does not appear on the 1850 Ordnance Survey map.
