Description

Snatchup End Cottages, built in 1898 by Sir Edwin Lutyens, are a group of two and three-storey cottages designed in a vernacular style. The ground floors are made of red brick, while the upper floors are tile hung, featuring a mix of gabled, gambrel, and hipped tiled roofs. Red brick chimneystacks add to the architectural detail. The cottages have wood mullioned leaded casement windows and are arranged in an irregular grouping: to the left, there are two storeys with a tile hung gable; to the right, a three-storey section with a gambrel roof; and in the centre, a one-storey brick section that rises to two storeys on the left.
