Horns Lodge Cottages

Horns Lodge Cottages, also known as Horns Lodge, is a pair of houses dating from the 17th century, with a facade that was added in the late 18th or early 19th century. The cottages are timber framed, featuring exposed principal posts and studs, with red and grey brick infill in stretcher bond on the left end of the ground floor, while the rest is constructed in red and grey brick in Flemish bond. The first floor is tile-hung at the front and weatherboarded on the gable ends, topped with a plain tile roof.

The building has a lobby entry plan consisting of three timber-framed bays, with two bays to the left and one to the right of the stack bay. It stands two storeys tall with a rendered plinth and a half-hipped roof. A multiple brick ridge stack is located to the right of the center. The fenestration is irregular, featuring three two-light casements—two to the left of the stack and one to the right—along with a boarded door situated under the stack. There is a lean-to with a weatherboarded gable on the left gable end, and a central single-storey brick rear wing with a plain-tile gambrel roof and a door on the long left side.

The interior has only been partly inspected but reveals exposed framing to the left of the stack. The left end ground-floor room contains an unchamfered axial beam and unchamfered joists, while the central room has a chamfered axial beam with unchamfered joists. A brick fireplace with a chamfered bressumer is located to the left of the stack. The attic features stairs with a pegged doorhead in front of the stack, and the principal posts are gunstock-jowled. The roof structure includes clasped purlins with diminishing principal rafters and windbraces, incorporating re-used timber.
