Description
Peony Cottage (formerly known as Park Cottage, Phlox Cottage and the cottage occupied by Bicknell) is a late 18th-century cottage, with alterations and extensions dating to the mid-to-late 19th Century. It is constructed of red-brown brick, with some flared headers, and has plain tiled roofs with painted bargeboards to the gables. The cottage has an L-shaped plan with lower additions at the rear.
The main front has a projecting gable-ended range to the left, featuring a gabled oriel window with a decorative lozenge leaded light in a mullioned and transomed window. Matching decoratively leaded, single-light windows are positioned to the right of the centre, one on either side of a pointed-arched door. The door is sheltered by a gabled hood supported on rustic wooden brackets. The return front to the right has a similarly leaded oriel window within a gable. A sash window is located in a gable on the left return front, while the lower rear extension has leaded casement windows. Tall multiple stacks, with star-shaped sections and corbelled tops, rise on a plinth to the right of the centre, and a smaller stack is situated at the rear.
The left-hand return front features brown brick with some blue headers. This side has two storeys on a plinth, with two windows on each floor facing the street. The ground floor windows have cambered heads. The left-hand return front has one first-floor and two cambered-head ground-floor windows. A door is positioned to the left of the centre on the left-hand return front, and is covered by a flat hood supported on wrought iron brackets. Stacks are present to the left and right of the front range at the rear. The cottage was possibly a former lodge to Wonersh Park and is included on the list solely for its group value.
