Description

Bourne Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage orné located on Boathouse Lane in Kidsgrove. The building is roughcast with a half hipped slate roof and a roughcast stack at the rear, designed in a Gothic style. It features three bays, with a central 20th-century door that has a painted overlight, flanked by tripartite casements that imitate graded lancets and contain latticed panes. There is a continuous dripstone above the door and windows. In front of the cottage, there is a fretted verandah screen with three graded lancet openings. Each end wall also has a tripartite window similar to those on the front wall.
