Description
Nos. 6 and 8 Newcomen Road are a pair of model cottages built between 1850 and 1852. They were designed by the architect Henry Roberts in a Tudor style for the Tunbridge Wells Branch of 'The Society for Improving the Condition of the Labouring Classes'. There have been some late 20th-century additions and alterations that are not of special interest.
The cottages are constructed with render over Roberts' patent hollow bricks, featuring a slate roof and a central clustered brick chimneystack. The plan is asymmetrical and almost T-shaped.
The front elevation of no. 6 includes a doorcase on the right with a moulded architrave and a hood mould, along with a 20th-century casement window in an existing surround, which also has a hood mould. Above this is a gabled dormer. The side elevation has similar casement windows beneath a hood mould on the ground floor.
No. 8 has a front elevation with a projecting gable to the right, which contains a UPVC casement window in an original surround with hood moulding. Set back from this is a doorcase with a hood mould and a UPVC casement window. The side elevation of no. 8 has no window openings, and there is a later extension at the rear.
The interiors have not been inspected.
