9 AND 10

9 and 10 are a pair of estate cottages built in the 1860s for James Roberts West. They are constructed of brick with a tile roof and feature brick cross-axial stacks. The design includes Gothic-style details and is arranged in an L-plan.

The cottages are two storeys high and have a two-window range. They feature wide eaves and verges, with a gabled projection to the left of the centre. The entrance, located at the left end, has a plank door with enriched strap hinges and an open timber gabled porch adorned with fishscale tile bands. The windows have sills and segmental pointed heads; the ground floor windows include brick tympana over wooden frames with pointed lights and decorative lattice glazing, along with trefoils in the spandrels. The first-floor windows have similar frames, with two pointed lights and a quatrefoil between, including one in a gabled half-dormer on the right. There is a cross-axial stack with clustered octagonal shafts.

The returns are similar, with the right return featuring a single light to the left of the entrance with a gabled porch. The rear wing maintains similar details and has a stack, along with a 20th-century end addition that connects the cottages to a single-storey rear wash house.

This pair of cottages is a good and little-altered example of estate housing, part of a row of seven pairs, most of which have been altered.
