Description
New Cottages is a terrace of seven estate cottages built in 1876. The cottages are two storeys high with attics and constructed of red brick, featuring a string course, rusticated quoins, and window surrounds made of white gault brick. The central bay has a slightly projecting gabled roof. The roofs are covered with black glazed pantiles and have fluted barge-boards on the gables. There are five internal chimney-stacks made of red and white brick, designed in two styles: the two outer stacks and the central stack have three square shafts with corbelled heads set diagonally on a square base, while the two intermediate stacks have large plain rectangular shafts that are corbelled out at the head. The cottages also feature cast iron casements with geometric tracery in the lights, and triangular attic windows with ornamental cusped infill are present in the gables and above the porch.
