The Ten Cottages

The Ten Cottages are a pair of estate cottages built in 1848, likely designed by Edward Blore for Earl Spencer. They are constructed from ironstone ashlar with a moulded cornice, while the rear is made of red brick. The cottages feature a double-span roof covered with fish scale tiles at the front and slates at the rear, complete with coped gable parapets and moulded kneelers. A central stone stack has 20th-century brick square shafts.

The cottages are designed in the Tudor style and are two storeys high with a two-window range, including two shallow projecting gabled bays. The wood mullioned windows have painted iron lattices, consisting of three lights with a transom on the ground floor and two lights on the first floor, all adorned with hood moulds. The front and return side gables display shields featuring the Spencer crest and the date of construction. The return sides include porches with coped gable parapets and kneelers.

Notable architectural details include a chamfered Tudor arch with a straight head, sunk spandrels, and a hood mould, as well as chamfered lancets on the sides. Inside, there is a chamfered Tudor arch doorway with a ribbed door and two-light windows to the left, along with chamfered openings featuring alternating block surrounds throughout. The interiors have not been inspected.
