Description
This is a group of four estate cottages located on Salisbury Road, built in 1864 for Alfred Morrison of the Fonthill Estate. The cottages are constructed from limestone ashlar with a tiled roof and brick stacks. They feature a gable end facing the road and have a planked door to the left, set within a two-storey open porch supported by three chamfered stone piers. The windows include 2-light and 4-light chamfered mullioned casements, and there is a planked door in a lean-to porch with a 4-light mullioned casement on either side of a through entry that has a timber lintel resting on stone corbels. To the right, there is a lean-to porch with a door leading to No. 49.
On the first floor, there is a 4-light mullioned casement above the porch to the left and a 3-light mullioned casement to the right. The central cottage features an attic gable with 2-light and 3-light mullioned casements, a hipped dormer with a 3-light mullioned casement above the entry, and a 4-light mullioned casement in the cross wing to the right. The left return displays a 4-light mullioned casement and a single casement on the ground floor, along with a recessed oval stone tablet inscribed with the date 1864 and the intertwined initials AM. There is also a single casement on the first floor and a 2-light casement in the attic.
The brick stacks are either square or set diagonally on stone plinths. The rear of the cottages has projecting wings with mullioned casements, planked doors, and some 20th-century steel casements. The interiors contain 19th-century joinery. These cottages are noted as a good early example of Vernacular Revival architecture in estate building.
