132, Stop Street

No. 132 Stop Street is a pair of estate cottages that have been converted into one house, dating from the 1850s. The building is constructed of Flemish garden wall bond brick with limestone dressings and features a fishscale tiled roof and brick stacks. It is a single storey with an attic and has two windows. The entrances are located at the rear; to the right is a planked door set in a chamfered stone case with hoodmoulds, and to the left is a 20th-century timber porch. There are two three-light cast-iron casements with octagonal panes and hoodmoulds, along with an unfinished datestone in the center. The two gabled brick and stone dormers have two-light octagonal-paned cast-iron casements on both the ground floor and in the attic. The rear facing the road features single-light cast-iron casements with octagonal panes on both sides of the ground floor and in the two dormers. The interior retains original joinery. This cottage is part of a row of five pairs of Fonthill estate cottages built for the Marquess of Westminster, with each cottage having a slightly different design.
