Description
Home Park Cottages is a semi-detached pair of houses built around 1826. They were constructed by John Dickinson to provide accommodation for workers in paper production at Home Park Mill, which is not listed. The cottages are made of rendered flint and red brick and feature a half hipped tiled roof. They are two storeys high with an attic and have a two-window front. The ground floor has 16-pane sash windows, while the first floor has 9-pane sashes, all set back with segmental heads. The eaves are dentilled brick, and there is a central ridge stack with an oversailing course. Lean-to outshuts are set back on the returns with entrances, and there are small sash windows in the red brick attics. The fenestration at the rear matches that at the front, and there are later extensions to the rear. The cottages are part of a planned group, symmetrically arranged as 2:4:4:2, including Nos. 3 to 12 Home Park Cottages.
