Nos 11 And 12 Including Front Railings

Nos. 11 and 12 are a pair of former estate cottages built in 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 are designed as a mirrored pair, each one room wide and two rooms deep, with two axial stacks serving back-to-back fireplaces. There are entrance porches at each end, and the buildings are two storeys tall with single-storey service rooms at the rear.

The exterior displays a symmetrical four-window front, with low segmental arches above the windows. Most windows are original timber mullion-and-transom types with glazing bars, although some in No. 12 have been replaced with uPVC versions from around 1980. The cottages feature three front gables with shaped bargeboards, the central gable adorned with a limestone plaque displaying the Rolle arms and the date 1876. The main roof is gable-ended, and each end has a gabled porch with front doorways, featuring brick-lined Tudor arches and stone hoodmoulds. Both porches have 20th-century doors.

A narrow strip of ground in front of the cottages is enclosed by original cast iron railings, which have plain designs and bulbous standards topped with fleur-de-lys finials, along with original gates in the same style. This area was part of the Rolle estate village, which included the now-ruined Stevenstone Court, rebuilt in 1872-3, and the Church of St Giles, which was remodelled shortly thereafter.
