Walnut Bank Cottage Walnut Cottage

Walnut Cottage and Walnut Bank Cottage are two cottages dating from the mid-18th century, with a left range added in the mid-to-late 19th century. Walnut Bank Cottage has undergone alterations in the mid-to-late 20th century. The cottages are constructed of regular coursed squared ironstone, with the right corner and return side of Walnut Bank Cottage being of rougher stone. Walnut Cottage has a tile roof, while Walnut Bank Cottage has a straw thatch roof, with brick ridge and end stacks.

Each cottage has a two-unit plan. Walnut Cottage is one storey and attic, with a two-window range. The central door is a 20th-century style half-glazed door with glazing bars. The windows are stone mullioned, mostly from the 19th century; the left side has narrow mullions and painted lattices, and the right side has lead lattices. The ground floor windows are of three lights, the right being 18th century, while the first floor windows are of two lights. The left range has a cross gable. Walnut Bank Cottage has a 20th-century half-glazed door on the left, with a chamfered stone lintel inserted below a stone flat arch with keystone. It also features a small three-light 18th-century stone mullioned window, a blocked opening with a stone flat arch, a mid-20th-century two-light stone mullioned window, and a small two-light casement with a painted wood lintel on the right. Two half-dormers are fitted with mid-to-late 20th-century two-light casements. The interiors were not inspected. The cottages are included on the list for group value and may have been altered during 19th-century improvements to the Farnborough estate.
