Description

St. Nicholas Cottage is a pair of attached cottages dating from the 18th century. The building is timber framed, with sections that are partly plastered, partly weatherboarded, and partly clad in red bricks laid in Flemish bond. It has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The cottages have four bays facing southeast, with an internal stack at each end and an original outshut along the full length of the rear, featuring a catslide roof. There is a 20th-century single-storey entrance extension on the left side. The structure is one storey with attics.

On the ground floor, there are five 20th-century casement windows, one of which includes a late 18th-century wrought iron casement with rectangular leading, and another is an early 19th-century window with 16 fixed lights. The first floor has two 20th-century casements in lean-to dormers. Notably, there are no doors in the front elevation. The cottage features a gambrel roof. The right half of the front elevation is plastered, showcasing some 18th-century herringbone pargetting in panels, while the side and rear of this half are weatherboarded. The left half is clad in red brick in Flemish bond on the front, side, and back, with the front being painted and bearing inscriptions in the brickwork that read 'AM 1784, DM 1784'.
