No 5 (Notton Cottage) And Screen Walls To Road

Notton Cottage, built in the early to mid 18th century, is a house constructed from coursed rubble stone with a stone slate valley roof. It features moulded coped gables and end stacks, and is two storeys high with an attic. The front of the house has a formal three-window arrangement with two gables rising from the parapet, flush quoins, a plinth, and moulded cornices on the main floors. The windows are cyma-moulded mullion types, with two-light windows in each gable, three-light and two-light windows on the first floor, and three-light windows flanking the central door, which has a moulded surround topped with a pediment supported by acanthus scroll brackets.

At the rear, there is a parallel range with paired south gables. The left gable has two-light windows with dripstones on each floor, and an additional window on the first floor above a former door. The rear wall has a blocked two-light window above another two-light window, both with dripstones. A rear wing features a coped gable and end stack, with pairs of 12-pane sash windows on each floor in bead-moulded surrounds, and a door to the right in a moulded surround. There is also a lower west addition with an end stack, which has two hipped dormers above a single light and a three-light window, both with dripstones, and a door to the right. The north end of the main range has mullion windows on the right gable.

Inside, the ground floor north room includes a Tudor arched moulded stone fireplace. Curved screen walls extend from either side of the main facade to the road, ramping down from the house over doors in moulded surrounds, with attached piers at the road entries, mirrored at each end of a low central wall. The outer walls of the screen walls extend approximately 23 meters to the north and 18 meters to the south along the road, ramping up at the ends. The north screen wall is lined with brick on the west side.
