Description

This small estate cottage, located between numbers 27 and 30 on High Street in Old Warden, dates from 1881, as indicated by a plaque featuring the Shuttleworth emblem. It is constructed of yellow brick with red brick dressings and has a clay tile roof adorned with terracotta ridge cresting and finials. The cottage is a single-storey rectangular block with a gable that projects to the south and a gabled open porch that projects to the north. The west elevation features a three-light cast iron lattice casement window set beneath a cambered head. A large Tudor-style ridge stack, topped with an embattled design and fleur-de-lys decoration, adds to the architectural interest of the building.
