Blaise Hamlet, Double Cottage

Blaise Hamlet Double Cottage is a pair of attached cottages built in 1812 by John Nash and George Repton for J.S. Harford. They are constructed from random rubble with brick lateral and ridge stacks and feature a stone tile cross-gabled roof. The cottages have a single-depth plan and are designed in a picturesque style, with a single storey and an attic, comprising a three-window range.

The irregular pair includes a right-hand cross-gable that is connected by a pent roof on brackets to a left-hand open porch. This porch has a coped gable and a pointed-arched doorway leading to a plank door. The right-hand side features a wooden porch with a hipped roof. The windows include leaded lattice casements, with a three-light bay on the gable, two paired windows beneath the pent roof, and a two-light canted bay on the left return. There is also a central dormer and a two-light window set in a dovecote in the gable, along with two sets of triple stellate stacks.

Although the interior was not inspected, it is reported to have winder stairs and sitting rooms with rear services. The cottages were arranged by Harford for his retired employees and are part of a picturesque layout that is noted for its irregular composition. They are situated around an open green and were modernised around 1975.
