Description

Garden Cottages, dating circa 1860, were originally stables for the historic Lee Priory. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the cottages are built of red brick with a Welsh slate roof, punctuated by three gabled dormers. The design incorporates altered casement windows, a central pediment, and two round-headed carriage arches.
