1 And 2 Farm Cottages Including Attached Garden Wall At East End

Nos. 1 and 2 Farm Cottages, located on Brownsea Island, are a pair of cottages that were originally three. They mainly date from the mid-19th century but include part of an early 18th-century structure. The cottages have brick walls and slate roofs, with four brick stacks—two at each end and two in between. They are two storeys tall.

The east gable wall features part of an early 18th-century brick garden wall, and part of the front (north) wall also appears to be from this period. The ground floor has a panelled door and three sash windows with glazing bars, while the first floor has five similar sash windows. There is a second blocked doorway on the ground floor.

To the south of the cottages, the 18th-century garden wall stands as a free-standing structure. It includes a pair of rusticated brick gatepiers with oversailing caps, each flanked by sections of wall that have blank segmental-arched recesses. Each side of the gatepiers features a straight length of wall with a dentil cornice, ending in a rusticated pier, with the right-hand section now forming part of the cottage gable wall. This property is managed by the National Trust.
