Bifrons Cottage

Bifrons Cottage is likely the dower house associated with the now-demolished Bifrons mansion. It was built or altered in the mid to late 19th century, as part of a group of ornamental cottages within the estate village. The cottage is larger than the others in the village. The north-east front has a distinctive half-H shape. It features a tiled roof with grouped chimney stacks. The main part of the building is two storeys high and constructed of painted brick, while the wings have a roughcast finish to the first floor. There are three gables, each with casement windows and scalloped bargeboards. The first floor of the wings projects and is supported by elaborate carved columns. A small bay window on the ground floor is centrally located, containing the front door and flanking windows. The north-west front is higher and features a single window beneath a gable with scalloped bargeboards and a coronet displaying the date 1870. A three-tiered bay window with five lights on each tier extends across the ground and first floors of this front, with a small gabled porch situated to the north-east of the bay.
