350 and 352, Arbury Road

Nos 350 and 352 on Arbury Road are a pair of cottages from the Arbury Park estate, originally built around the early 17th century and remodeled into their current form in the mid-19th century. The cottages are timber-framed with brick infill, all rendered, and feature chamfered blue brick window and doorway dressings. They have a plain tile roof with added ends and moulded bargeboards, along with blue brick axial and gable end stacks topped with yellow brick shafts.

The cottages are designed as a one-storey and attic structure with a symmetrical four-window front facing north, where the attic windows are located in the gables. All windows are set in chamfered blue-brick openings with hoodmoulds; the ground floor has three-light and the first floor has two-light 19th-century casements. There are two doorways in similar openings, each with a plank door featuring cover moulds. At the rear, there are casement windows on the left and right gables, and a small single-storey red brick wing at the centre.

Inside, the box-frame structure is exposed, showcasing jowled posts, some straight tension braces, and partition walls with tie-beams and collars. The large side purlins rest on the backs of the principal rafters, and the wall plates and cannon rafters are intact, with some mortices indicating missing windbraces. The floors are supported by chamfered axial beams; notably, the beam in the left room of No 352 has a straight cut stop at one end and is supported by an applied console bracket with carved lozenge pendants. A central axial stack between the two cottages features back-to-back fireplaces with high chamfered timber lintels.
