Little Windings Martineau Cottage Oaklea Windings

Martineau Cottages, built in 1902, is a two-storey building featuring a symmetrical design. The structure has a short wing set back on the west end and a longer wing set back on the east, creating a long and varied facade. In the center, there is a half-octagonal upper bay that rests on a porch with open timber work on a high brick base. On either side of the bay, there is a single window, and at each end, there are elaborate gables that jet out on the first floor, each containing one window. The east wing includes two small gabled semi-dormers and a single ground-floor bay. The roof is covered with red tiles, hipped over the central bay, and features carved barge boards and coved plaster eaves.

The building has massive tall brick stacks with grouped octagonal flues on rectangular bases, topped with banding. The upper walls are constructed with closely spaced half-timbering, supported by a heavy first-floor beam, with brackets where the structure jetties out. The infill is made of red herring-bond brickwork. The ground floor walls are built of red brick in English bond with a high plinth. The windows are wooden casements arranged in patterns of 1:2:3 and 4 lights, with mullions beneath the front gables. The side porches are half-gabled, featuring an open timber frame on brick walls.
