Description
Diamond Cottage is a cottage built in 1812 by John Nash and George Repton for J.S. Harford. It features random rubble construction with brick lateral stacks and a stone-tiled hipped roof. The cottage has a single-depth plan and is designed in a picturesque style, consisting of a single storey and an attic with a one-window range. It is set at an angle and includes a pitched-roof porch leading to a plank door on the left side. The design incorporates a pent roof with a deep coved eave on two sides and leaded lattice casements, one on each side, along with a single half dormer above. At the rear, there are paired, diagonally-set stellate stacks. The interior has not been inspected, but it is reported to include a dogleg stair in the rear block, a sitting room, and a back pantry. This cottage was arranged by Harford for his retired employees and is part of a unique layout that is noted for its picturesque design. The cottages are situated around an open green and were modernised around 1975.
