Description

Mulberry Tree Cottage is a house built in 1910 by Sir Edwin Lutyens. It features a long asymmetrical range constructed of whitewashed brick, topped with a machine-tiled roof. The building has one storey and attics, with glazing bar casements and brick mullioned windows that include leaded lights. There is a slight central projection with a door on the right, set within a two-storey gabled bay, which is extended on the right by a later lean-to addition. To the left of the door, there is a six-light brick-mullioned leaded window band. The eaves are bracketed. The left end of the range has a gabled garage projection with tile creasing corbels, and to the right of this is a through passage featuring a channelled brick centre pier. The cottage also has two hipped dormers and large glazing bar casements on the rear elevation.
