Barrack Cottages

Barrack Cottages is a row of cottages built in the early 19th century. They are constructed from coursed galletted stone on a galletted stone plinth, featuring end pilaster strips and a broad full-height central panel made of chequered red and grey brick. The cottages have two 3-course plat bands in English bond, with a central grey brick header course, positioned above the plinth and between the floors. The window and door dressings are made of red brick.

The building consists of two parallel ranges, is two storeys high with cellars, and has a dentilled red brick eaves cornice. The hipped roof has hips that return to the right and left. There are four chimney stacks: one towards each end, one at the left end, and one at the rear right end. The front has a regular arrangement of seven deeply recessed round-headed 2-light casements, which feature projecting keystones and cills; there is one in the central panel and three smaller ones on each side section, with no keystone on the central window.

The ground floor has eight windows arranged in pairs under the outer windows of each side section. There are three recessed round-headed boarded doors, with the central door being broader and each door having two segmental top lights; one door is located in the central panel and one at the center of each side section, with the right door accessed by two steps. A broad chamfered wooden hood covers the central door.

To the right, a coach house has been added, constructed of stone with red brick dressings, and is two storeys high with a lean-to roof and a stone-coped parapet. It features one window styled like those of the cottages and has a blocked double doorway on the ground floor. A single-storey stone lean-to has been added to the right of the coach house, which was formerly part of a bullock yard. The interior has not been inspected but is said to retain original doors. The cottages are associated with Leeds Castle.
