Description
Tor Cottage is a pair of cottages built in 1903-1904, designed by Parker and Unwin. The cottages are constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and feature plain tile roofs with two gable and a single ridge ashlar stacks. The garden front is two storeys high and has four bays, with a central pair of three-light flush mullion windows, flanked by two-storey five-light canted ashlar bay windows that also have flush mullions and transoms. Above the central windows, there is a pair of flush ashlar cross mullion windows. Inside, the cottages retain many original features, including doors, an inglenook fireplace on the ground floor, and copper hooded fireplaces on the upper floors.
