Pair Of Cottages 70 Yards North West Of Downlands, Including Single Storey Outbuildings, Privvy And Ash House To Rear

This pair of estate cottages, dated "AD 1859," is located 70 yards northwest of Downlands. They are constructed from coursed squared rubble with freestone dressings and quoins, topped with a Cotswold stone slate roof featuring overhanging eaves, decorative cut bargeboards, and finials at the gables. The cottages are designed in a plain Tudor Gothic style and rise to two storeys, arranged in a 1:2:1 bay pattern with an advanced double gabled center. The windows are 2- and 3-light casements set under relieving arches, with the central two windows showcasing a decorative diamond glazing pattern. Panelled doors are found in the outer bays, framed by a doorcase with a segmental head and open lean-to porches. The central gables display shields bearing the date on the north side and a "B" (for Beaufort) under a coronet on the south side. At the rear, there are single storey outbuildings, a privy, and an ash house.
