Description
Mergate Hall Cottages is a pair of cottages that likely originated as a single Lobby-Entrance type farmhouse. They date from around 1700 and later. The cottages are constructed of rendered brick and clay lump, topped with a pantiled roof. They are single-storey with an attic and feature mainly 20th-century windows. There is one sloping dormer that has 18th or 19th-century casements with horizontal glazing bars. At the rear, there is a full-length lean-to. The cottages have an off-centre axial stack and a winding stair on either side. The roof is supported by butt-purlins. There is also a small adjoining block from the 19th century made of colour-washed brick. These cottages are included for their group value with Mergate Hall and "The Dower House."
