Description

Nos 9 and 11 Ferry Road is a carpenter's workshop and cottage built around the 1840s. It appears on a map from 1850, with the western end of the cottage added by 1859. No. 9, the cottage, features weatherboarding on a stock brick plinth and has a slate roof that is hipped at one end, along with two brick chimneystacks. The front of the cottage includes one 12-pane sash window and one 16-pane sash window, both with moulded architraves, as well as a six-panelled door topped with a rectangular fanlight, a cornice, and a contemporary foliated doorknocker. The left gable has a first-floor four-paned window with horns and a ground-floor canted bay window with a bracketed cornice, along with brackets and horns on the four-pane sashes.

Attached to the right is a lean-to extension that is also weatherboarded and has a slate roof, featuring one casement window and a plank door with a sphinx doorknocker. The interior retains original features, including a four-panelled door, a mantlepiece with paterae and pilasters, a plank door, a mid-19th century fireplace, and a cupboard. The attached workshop is primarily weatherboarded on a brick plinth, with a roof covered in asbestos sheeting, while the northwest elevation is rendered. The street-facing side of the workshop has three continuous casements with wooden mullions and a later casement. The ground floor includes a blocked casement and a doorcase with four flush panels and a moulded cornice. The southeast front has large double doors on the ground floor and a plank door on the left side that provides access to the first floor. The first floor features a later fixed casement and later double half-glazed doors. Inside the workshop, there are three thin axial beams, thin floor joists, and thin diagonal braces in the wall frame. An early drawing from the 1850s depicts the buildings as a large carpenter's shop and yard belonging to Huggett & Sons Builders.
