Description
Nos. 9 and 10 are a pair of former estate cottages built around 1876 for the Honourable Mark George Kerr Rolle. They are constructed from snecked local stone with ashlar quoins and yellow brick dressings, featuring stone stacks with red brick chimney shafts that were partly rebuilt in the 20th century. The cottages have a slate roof and face east, with No. 9 on the left and No. 10 on the right. Each cottage has a mirrored layout, consisting of one room wide and two rooms deep, with two central axial stacks serving back-to-back fireplaces. There are entrance porches on each end wall, and the buildings are two storeys high with single-storey service rooms at the rear.
The exterior is symmetrical with a four-window front, where the windows have low segmental arches above them. No. 9 retains its original timber mullion-and-transom windows with glazing bars, while No. 10 has uPVC windows installed around 1980. The front features three gables with shaped bargeboards, with the central gable displaying a limestone plaque carved with the Rolle arms and an illegible date. The main roof is gable-ended, and each end has a gabled porch with front doorways that feature brick-lined Tudor arches with hoodmoulds. The doors are from the 20th century.
The interiors have not been inspected. A narrow strip of ground in front is enclosed by original cast iron railings, which are plain with bulbous standards topped with fleur-de-lys finials, and there are original gates in the same style. This area was part of the Rolle estate village, with the nearby Stevenstone Court, now in ruins, having been rebuilt between 1872 and 1873. The entire village, including the Church of St Giles, was remodeled shortly thereafter.
