Allendale Clare Cottage Ivy Cottage Park Cottage

Allendale, Clare Cottage, Ivy Cottage, and Park Cottage are a row of four cottages built around 1800, likely for William Mellish. They are constructed of red brick and feature a pantile roof that is hipped to the left, with a brick and render coped gable and kneelers to the right. The cottages are two storeys high and have a first-floor band and dentillated eaves. Allendale slightly projects and is set on a plinth. It has an off-centre doorway with a panelled door and a 20th-century segmental hood above. To the left, there is a single casement window with arched Gothick cast iron glazing bars, and to the right, there are two similar casements, with three similar casements above. Clare Cottage features a central doorway with a half-glazed door that has arched Gothick glazing bars, flanked by single similar casements, with two similar casements above. Ivy Cottage has a central doorway with a panelled door and a projecting pedimented hood supported on flat wooden piers, with single similar casements on either side and two similar casements above. Park Cottage has a central doorway with a 20th-century door, flanked by single 20th-century replacement casements that have tracery matching the pattern of the other cottages, and two similar 20th-century casements above. Recent restoration work at Allendale has revealed evidence of internal timber framing, suggesting that all these cottages were probably originally constructed at the end of the 16th century and later clad in brick around 1800.
