Description
Place House Cottages is a pair of cottages that have been converted into one house, dating from the late 17th century, with possible earlier origins. There are 20th-century extensions at the rear. The building is constructed of English garden wall bond red brick, featuring some blue headers and a brick plinth. It has plain clay tile roofs with gabled ends and some old crested ridge tiles. The cottage on the left, No.3, has a lower roof level and a brick dentil eaves course. There are rendered brick axial and gable-end stacks with set-offs.
The structure appears to consist of a pair of 2-room plan cottages with central entrances. No.1, on the right, is larger and may contain an earlier structure, suggesting it could have originally been one house with No.3 serving as a service wing extension. The 20th-century extensions have been added across the back.
The exterior is single storey with an attic and features an asymmetrical four-window west front. The windows are small 2-light casements with glazing bars set in openings with cambered brick arches, while the window to the left of the center is a single light casement. There are two doorways with panelled and plank doors, each with small canopies supported by shaped brackets. At the rear, there is a large 20th-century flat-roof dormer and a 20th-century conservatory.
The property also includes a tall brick garden boundary wall with saddle-back brick coping and a brick dentil course, which encloses a rectangular garden at the rear of Nos.2 and 3, situated on the banks of the River Meon.
