Pair of cottages and attached wall at Gerston Hall

This listing describes a pair of cottages and an attached wall at Gerston Hall, built around 1910 in the Vernacular Revival style, likely designed by an architect in the style of E S Prior. The cottages form a T-shaped range, with each cottage being L-shaped. They are constructed of painted brick in stretcher bond and feature a tiled roof with gablets at the center and ends, along with two chimneystacks—one originally faced with flint, while the northern stack was later replaced with brick.

The exterior of the T-wing to the east has two half-hipped gables, with a hipped dormer added later in the century between them. The gables are supported by four Tuscan columns made of unknapped flint with bands of chalk. Each cottage has a tall window with leaded lights and a three-light casement behind it. The doorcases are located on the returns, featuring plank doors and a triangular knapped flint buttress on one side. The side wings include another three-light casement with leaded lights facing east and a diagonal flint buttress. The west side has two hipped dormers, similar casement windows, and four flint buttresses. Attached to the southernmost cottage is a painted brick wall with gabled tiled coping, forming the south and east sides of a courtyard that connects to a garden wall, also made of brick with gabled tiled coping, which steps due to the sloping ground.

Historically, these cottages were built to house the domestic staff of Gerston House, which was later known as St Joseph's Hall. The cottages and the attached walling are designed in a similar style and material to the main house.
