Description
These are almshouses, now converted into three houses, dating from the later 19th century, likely around 1890. They were built for the Gilston Estate. The design is deliberately picturesque, intended to resemble a larger medieval hall house with two cross wings and a projecting porch placed asymmetrically. The exterior is roughcast with applied timber framing to the gables. The roofs are steeply pitched and covered with red tiles, featuring trefoil pierced wavy bargeboards. Pointed tiling bands decorate the front porch and gabled end porches. The building has a single-storey central section with two gabled dormers on the right side of the porch, all featuring bargeboards and carved finials. Tall yellow stock brick chimneys are present, with raised strips, bands, and moulded caps. Windows are wooden casements with small panes, in 2- and 3-light arrangements. An open-gabled porch is located on the west end. A right-hand front gable extends downwards, covering a former entrance in the angle. This dramatic, picturesque composition sits centrally within a group of 19th-century Gothic buildings in the village and is included in the listing primarily for its group value.
