Description
West End Cottage is a house built between 1840 and 1850, located at a right angle to the street and formerly connected to No. 90 at the rear. The building features incised stucco and a hipped slate roof with two rear axial stacks. It has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high, with a symmetrical three-window arrangement. Notable exterior elements include a modillion eaves cornice, a first-floor platband, and a plinth on the front and right side. The windows are 6/6-pane sash windows, some of which contain crown glass. There is a verandah dating from around 1860 on the garden front, which has a swept glass roof and a fretted frieze supported by slender cast-iron columns. The central door is a four-panel half-glazed design with an overlight.
Inside, the cottage features moulded architraves around the four-panel doors, and an open string dogleg staircase with fretted ends, stick balusters, a wreathed mahogany handrail, and a curtail step. There is a small semicircular landing arch at the rear. The first-floor front rooms have fireplaces with roundels at the block corners, set over reeded jambs and lintels. The left room has a hob grate, while the right room features a cast-iron arch-plate register grate from around 1860. The ground-floor front room has panelled shutters, and the ground-floor rear room has a high horizontal window with four panes, likely a former scullery.
Additionally, there is a rendered wall attached to the south-east corner of the cottage, which has coping extending from the platband. Above a 20th-century gate, there is a flat arch with a recessed panel. The wall continues along the street for approximately five meters as a high rendered rubblestone wall.
