9-12, BATH ROAD

A row of four estate cottages, now comprising three separate cottages and a combined dwelling at numbers 9 and 10, was likely built around the 1860s as part of the Inigo-Jones estate. Constructed of coursed rubble with freestone dressings and quoins, the cottages feature a slate roof with coped verges, moulded kneelers, and ashlar stacks with moulded cornices. They are designed in a plain 17th-century style. Each cottage originally had one window on each floor: a three-light casement window on the ground floor and a two-light window on the first floor, all with chamfered mullions, surrounds, and dripmoulds. Outer doors serve the two outer cottages, while paired inner doors exist between the others. The doors are plank, set within chamfered surrounds and with straight dripmoulds above. A central ashlar gable displays a pair of armorial bearings surmounted by a pediment and finial, with the initials "IJ" on the tympanum. Further shield plaques showing initials are positioned above the outer doors. A central inscription reads "IN/MEMORIAM”. The cottages form part of an intact and unaltered mid-Victorian estate village.
