Description
Grove Cottage is an end of terrace house dating from the 17th century, with some alterations. It is finished in stucco and features a tiled hipped roof with a central chimney stack and an eaves cornice. The building has three storeys and three windows. A central full-height portico extension with a cornice at the first-floor level frames an architraved doorway that contains a half-glazed door. The windows are architraved sashes. The left-hand return of the building has plain bands at the floor levels and a recessed panel beneath the eaves, which is believed to have once held an inn sign when, during the 18th century, No. 110 was used as a public house along with No. 108. This establishment was known by various names, including The Three Pigeons, Ye Pilgrim, The Windmill, and The Duke of Cumberland. The poet and Punch editor, E.V. Knox, lived here from 1945 to 1971, as noted by a plaque. The interior has not been inspected.
