Llanaway Cottages

Llanaway Cottages is a pair of cottages built in 1875 for Miss C Hallam and Mrs C Birt. The ground floor is constructed of purplish-red brick in English bond with red-brick dressings, while the first floor is tile-hung with decorative bands of fish-scale tiles. The cottages have a plain tile roof and are two storeys high with four bays.

Designed in the Vernacular Revival style, they feature wooden mullioned and transomed windows with casements and small-pane upper lights. The first floor has a battered base on wood-bracketed coving. On the garden elevation, the left bay has an oriel window with a hipped roof and a three-light window above, which is topped with a gable that has collared bargeboards (the former pendant finial has been removed). The second bay includes a three-light window on each floor, while the third bay is projecting and gabled, featuring three one-light windows on the ground floor and one-light windows on the returns. This bay has a jettied timber-framed first floor with pargetted plaster infill that includes the date. The fourth bay also has a three-light window on each floor.

The roof is half-hipped and has two cross-ridge stacks with battered bases. The left return has two bays, with the left bay being lower and featuring a diagonally-boarded door (to No 15) with a pent canopy on shaped brackets and a replacement window above. The gable of the main range has a three-light window with a pentice. On the ridge return, the left bay has an oriel with a three-light window under a pentice, while the ridge bay has a diagonally-boarded door with decorative posts and trefoils in the spandrels. The first floor jetties out over this porch and features a stepped three-light window.

These cottages are one of three pairs built around a central garden, with Nos 11 and 13 featuring stone with the date and names of the patronesses. Nos 15 and 17 share the same design as Nos 7 and 9, but they have been less altered.
