Description
Wrenshall Cottages is a pair of estate cottages, now privately owned, dated 1899 on the front. They are constructed of red brick, with parts finished in tile-hanging and mock timbering, and feature plaintiled roofs. The cottages are one-and-a-half storeys tall and have a half-H form, with hipped, single-storey projections from each gable that contain entries and porches.
Each wing has a chimney stack with four hexagonal shafts, and there are two smaller stacks with similar shafts on the central range. The ground storey is made of brick, and all the windows are original casements with a single horizontal bar. Each wing features a jetty with carved supports at the first floor, tile-hanging on the upper storey, and a four-light oriel window with a coved timber base. The gables project slightly at eaves level, with mock timbering, carved barge-boards, and hanging finials at the apex.
The centre of the cottages has a lean-to veranda roof supported by posts along the ground storey, and the upper storey has 22-light casement windows with gablet roofs finished with barge-boards and finials that match the gables. These cottages are the only example in Stanton of the ornate style built on the estate of John Martineau of Walsham-le-Willows in the later 19th century and were formerly attached to Wrenshall Farm.
