Prospect Cottage

Prospect Cottage is a former institute, now a cottage, built in 1900 by Sir Edwin Lutyens. The building is constructed of brown brick, with the center whitewashed, and features plain tiled roofs that are half-hipped with gablets at the ends and swept out over the eaves. It has a half-H shape plan with projecting end wings and a recessed center behind a terrace court. The right side has two storeys, while the center and left are one storey, all set on a terraced plinth. There is a double stack chimney on the roof spur at the re-entrant angle on the right and a side stack on the left. The left wing has a battering buttress with one 4-light cross window that is top-hinged on the ground floor. The right wing features one 3-light window on each floor. In the recessed range, there is one 4-light window to the right of center and two single light windows, one on each side of the stack shaft. A glazed door is located at the left hand re-entrant angle under a flat hood.
