Gothic Cottage and Attached Wall

This is a house, likely dating from the 1820s, with alterations made in the 1940s. It has been divided into flats. The building is constructed of plastered material with a gabled slate roof and a rendered stack. The design is in the Gothic style.

The north elevation has an asymmetrical two-window design with regular window placement. The building is flanked by narrow vertical strip mouldings with recessed panels and arched heads. A cartway entrance is positioned to the right, featuring a Tudor arch with plank and coverstrip doors incorporating a wicket. The original timber Gothic windows have hoodmoulds with label stops, Gothic arched heads to the upper panes of the casements, and trefoils in the spandrels. Ground floor windows have six panes below transoms, while upper floor windows have four.

Attached to the left is a Gothic-style wall enclosing the garden. This wall projects centrally and is fully embattled with coped merlons and embrasures above a moulded cornice. The outer bays incorporate chamfered two-centred doorways with moulded spandrels and hoodmoulds. One doorway is blind, the other has a ledged and braced door with a triangular head. A central bay features a Tudor arched, chamfered window-like opening with a 20th-century wrought iron grille. The east (garden) elevation includes the main entrance, within a single-storey flat-roofed projection. This projection contains a half-glazed front door with nine panes above a recessed moulded panel, the upper panes with Tudor arched heads, and an overlight with geometric glazing bars. A boxed Gothic porch hood has a lobed edge and lozenge panels on each side. A lancet window is located to the left of the porch, along with a small-pane two-light casement to the right. A cast iron balcony with anthemion decoration adorns the flat roof. Two first-floor canted bay windows have tent roofs, with high transomed windows featuring Tudor arched panes below the transom and stained glass above. A central, narrower window is in a similar style, two panes wide. The garden in front of the entrance elevation is bounded by an embattled wall with an arched doorway and a Tudor arched opening. The south elevation is plain and features iron-frame casements from the 1940s. The interior was not inspected during the survey, but may retain features of interest.
