Trafalgar Cottage

Trafalgar Cottage is a mid-19th century house and shop, later subdivided into two houses and altered around 1980. It is located on East Street, Southwold. The building is constructed of gault brick with a slate roof, hipped at one corner, and features brick stacks at the left end and on the roof slope.

The front facing East Street has a doorway at the right end and three six-over-six unhorned sash windows on each floor. One ground floor window has been reduced to six-over-zero glazing bars. The left return has a late 20th-century glazed door to the left and a plank door in the centre. To the right, a late 19th-century two-over-two horned sash shop window sits within an enlarged opening, alongside a half-glazed shop door set into a splayed corner. Two unhorned sashes are present on the first floor; the left window is eight-over-eight glazed, and the right is six-over-six. All original window openings retain rendered and painted skewback arches with keyblocks. The interior of the building has not been inspected. A map of Southwold from 1839 by J.G. Lenny documents the building's earlier form.
