Egge Cottage

Egge Cottage is a cottage built in 1744, featuring 20th-century alterations and a large late 20th-century addition. It was designed by Sanderson Miller and is constructed from regularly coursed ironstone with irregular quoins. The roof is made of concrete tiles, and there are 19th-century brick end stacks. The cottage has a two-unit plan and is designed in a picturesque Gothick style. It has two storeys facing the road and three storeys at the rear due to the steeply sloping site.

On the entrance side, there is a one-window range with a slightly recessed centre. The central entrance features a chamfered Gothic arched doorway with a 20th-century part-glazed door and stone steps. To the right, there is a one-light casement window. The first floor has a central plain two-light stone-mullioned window. The left return side has a lower ground floor with a wide four-centre arch, an outer arch made of large voussoirs, and a 20th-century tripartite window with a central four-centre arched glazed door. The ground floor has a window with simple Y-tracery, while the first floor features a lancet window.

At the rear, there is a two-window range with a splayed plinth and two massive but lower round angle projections, both covered with concrete tile roofs. The lower ground floor has a window consisting of four lancets in a straight head, accompanied by a relieving arch of large voussoirs. The right turret has a small window, and the ground floor has two windows with Y-tracery. The first floor, raised in the mid to late 20th century, has two casements. There is also a substantial four-window range addition, possibly incorporating a former outbuilding made of limestone, along with a porch featuring an arched stable door.

Originally thatched and formerly known as the Thatched Cottage, Egge Cottage was built by Miller for himself to resemble a romantic ruin. It is noted as Miller's first attempt at the Picturesque style and is part of his work on the Radway Grange property, which includes the construction of the castle now known as The Castle Inn, with which Egge Cottage forms a group.
