Description
Staple Hill Cottages is a pair of houses built around 1875 by H Gundry for Sir Charles Mordaunt. The cottages feature a combination of brick and timber-frame construction with plastered infill, topped with gabled tile roofs and a prominent brick cross-axial stack with fillets. The irregular plan includes a gabled cross-wing on the right side.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a two-window range. The first floor is timber-framed and jettied, with a moulded fascia. The cross-wing has a jettied gable head, while the left side features a tile-hung gable. The entrances are located on the returns. The ground floor has projecting windows with 2- and 3-light small-paned casements. The first floor includes a bracketed oriel window on the tile-hung gable, which has some timber framing and barge-boards, along with a renewed small-paned casement. There is also a canted oriel window on the right with small-paned glazing. Decorative timber-frame panels can be seen on the cross-wing.
On the left return, there is a gabled projection with a porch that was originally open, supported by turned timber posts on a stone-coped brick wall, now featuring a 20th-century door. A small square window is located to the left, with deep ovolo moulding above and a renewed small-paned casement on the first floor. The rear of the cottages has two gables and a small roof dormer with a tile-hung gable, along with a 20th-century single-storey addition.
These cottages are one of two pairs of houses situated on either side of the road leading to Moreton Morrell.
