Description
Meridian Spring Cottage is a pair of attached houses built around 1750, with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. Spring Cottage is rendered and lined out, while Meridian is constructed of painted rubble. Both houses have asbestos slate roofs and brick gable end stacks.
The layout consists of a double depth plan, with each house featuring one room at the front and rear, along with central entrances. Each house has three storeys and two windows. Spring Cottage, on the left, has a ground floor 20-pane sash window with Gothic margin glazing and external shutters, which is one of the few remaining examples of the Kingsand/Cawsand type window. To the right, there is a recessed door with four panels and glazing. The first floor has two 16-pane sash windows and two small 20-pane sashes located under the eaves.
Meridian features a recessed door with four panels and glazing, a 16-pane sash window with pintles remaining for external sashes, a narrow three-pane light, and a 20th-century window on the first floor. The second floor has a single light and a 12-pane sash window.
