Home Park Cottages

A row of four houses built around 1826 as accommodation for workers at Home Park Mill, which was established by John Dickinson for paper production. The cottages are constructed of rendered flint and red brick, with a tiled half-hipped roof. The houses are two storeys and an attic, with a four-window front. Two entrances are centrally positioned. The ground floor windows are 16-pane sashes with segmental heads, while the first-floor windows are 9-pane sashes, all recessed. The eaves are finished with dentilled brickwork. There are two hipped dormers with horizontal sliding sashes over the inner windows, and two ridge stacks with oversailing courses. Entrances are located in the returns of the building. Red brick attic windows are small sashes. Single-storey additions are set back at each end and to the rear, with a matching front-facing window arrangement. The interior has not been inspected. The row forms part of a planned symmetrical group arranged 2:4:4:2, relating to other cottages in Home Park (numbers 1, 2, and 7-12).
