Description

Cambridge Cottage, also known as Museum No 3, is an early 19th-century, two-storey building that stretches approximately 11 bays wide, although many of its windows have been altered and enlarged. The structure features three-bay projecting ends and has a parapeted brown brick front that is set back behind a high wall, which includes a Greek Doric stone porte-cochere. The garden side of the cottage is two storeys high and has a slightly recessed centre with four widely spaced windows, flanked by two wings. Cambridge Cottage served as the residence of the Duke of Cambridge from 1840 to 1904. High brick garden walls surround the property.
