Forsterville Cottages

Fosterville Cottages is a house that has been divided into two cottages, dating from the early 19th century, with a later addition at the right end that consists of one room. The building is constructed from colourwashed rendered cob and features a thatched roof that is half-hipped at the right end and gabled at the left end. There is a projecting stack at the left end and an axial stack to the right of the center. The layout is single depth with two rooms, both heated, originally served by end stacks and with a direct entry into the larger room on the right. A former outbuilding at the right end has been converted into a one-room addition to the main accommodation, and there are single-storey lean-tos at both ends of the range. The building is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with four windows. The front features a plank door beneath a 20th-century rustic timber porch with a lean-to roof. The first floor has four two-light casement windows, each with six panes per light. The ground floor windows are similar, with two-light casements of three panes per light flanking the porch, while the right ground floor window is a 20th-century replacement. The interior includes 20th-century grates and lacks exposed beams. This attractive cob and thatch building is prominently located on a roadside site.
