Cottage Homes

Cottage Homes is a terrace of almshouses built around 1900 in the Tudorbethan style. The building is one storey high, with a central raised block that has an attic above. It features a long symmetrical range with short cross-wings at either end. The structure is made of red brick, adorned with decorative half-timbering and plaster infill in the gables. The roofs are covered with plain tiles, and the bargeboards and collars are set forward on corbels, topped with drop-finials at the apex.

The building has central clusters of two, three, and four octagonal red brick chimneys in the Elizabethan style. The windows are mullioned casement types with leaded lights; some include transoms and gablets above, while the central block features an oriel window that lights the attic. Most entrance doorways have four-centred arched heads with hoodmoulds and recessed boarded doors, and the end blocks are enhanced with gabled timber porches at the re-entrant angles.
