Wortley Cottages

A row of six cottages built in 1896 to the designs of C F A Voysey for Lord Lovelace of Kirkby Mallory. The cottages are constructed of brick, roughcast and whitewashed, with a hipped roof of Swithland slates. Diagonal buttresses mark each end of the front elevation. There are six roughcast stacks, with those at the ends positioned externally.

The cottages are arranged over two storeys and six bays, designed to appear as three symmetrical pairs. Each pair features a central, hipped porch with a six-light leaded casement window and an original close-boarded door with decorative hinges on each side. Four of these doors remain original. The central four cottages largely retain their original windows, featuring single four-light casements on each floor, with leaded glazing to the first floor. Cottage number one, on the left, has 20th-century three-light casements on each floor, and cottage number six, on the right, has 20th-century glazing bar casements on each floor. The rear elevation features a hipped outbuilding for each pair and several late 20th-century additions. A continuous six-light strip casement runs along the rear, and the glazing of cottages number four and five has been altered.
