Number 87 And Attached Wall, Gate Pier, And Gate

Number 87 is a former estate cottage, probably built around 1878, as part of the same development as numbers 89 and 91. It has an attached wall, gate pier, and gate. The cottage is constructed of brownish brick in English bond, with the first floor clad in tile hanging, featuring decorative bands of fishscale tiles. The gables are timber-framed with plastered infill. It has a plain tile roof with crested ridge tiles and gable finials, and ribbed brick chimneys with deep stepped caps.

The cottage is two storeys high and three bays wide, designed in the Vernacular Revival style. It features a chamfered plinth and a stepped dentilled band at the first floor level. The front entrance is set within an off-centre internal porch, accessed by steps, with a four-centred arch flanked by stone imposts. The ground floor windows have three, two, and three lights respectively, while the first-floor windows have one, three, and two lights. A projecting, gabled central bay is corbelled on the first floor. The ground floor windows are set within segmental brick arches and have offset tile sills. Small-pane wooden casement windows are throughout. An external brick stack is located at the right end, and a ridge stack sits between the left-hand bays.

Attached to the front right corner is a brick wall approximately 4.5 metres long and 2.5 metres high, with chamfered ashlar coping. This wall terminates in an octagonal pier with moulded ashlar offsets and cap, supporting a decorative iron lantern. A decorative iron gate is attached to the pier. The right return of the cottage displays a decorative ashlar plaque to the chimney stack, flanked by one-light windows. The interior has not been inspected. The cottage formerly served the nearby Broadgates estate.
