Model Cottages

Model Cottages are a row of estate cottages built around 1870. They are constructed from coursed rubble volcanic trap and feature polychromatic brick quoins, jambs, lintels, and moulded polychromatic brick stacks. The cottages have dry-slate gabled-end roofs with crested ridge tiles. The main range includes two cross wings and is two storeys high.

The front of the cottages features crosswings and gable dormers with wavy bargeboarding. Each gable wall has a two-light 19th-century window with latticed leaded panes, and there is a three-light bay window below. The main range, situated between the wings, has four gabled dormers, each with two-light windows and latticed leaded panes. There is also an open pentice, which is slated and supported by timber posts and arched braces. The main range extends through the cross wings to form end gables, each with barred two-light windows.

To the right, there is a gabled hipped porch in the angle formed by the wings, featuring a fish scale clay plain tile roof. A 20th-century post office is located to the left. The timber gates, which have shaped caps on the gate posts, may be contemporary. This group of estate model cottages is notable for its use of high-quality materials and enhances the village scene.
