Redgrove Cottages With Attached Wall And Outbuildings

Redgrove Cottages, consisting of Nos. 1 and 2, are a pair of semi-detached estate cottages built around 1857-1860 for Thomas Packer Walter Butt, likely designed by architect JJ Rowland. They are constructed from red and pinkish-brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, creating an irregular chequerboard effect, and feature ashlar dressings with a banded red and grey tiled roof in a Tudor vernacular style.

The cottages are two storeys high and each has two first-floor windows, with narrower single-bay entrance ranges at each end. The main range includes two windows on each floor, all with lattice casements, sills, and hoodmoulds. The first-floor windows are topped with gables. The entrances have plank doors with strap hinges, set under hoodmoulds, and above them are stepped blind panels. The returns of the cottages have a window on each floor, featuring a quatrefoil in the gable. Decorative barge-boards adorn the structure, and there is a central stepped ridge stack.

At the rear, there is a dividing wall measuring approximately 10 meters by 2 meters, which connects to a pair of outhouses that have two central openings with plank doors. The returns of the outhouses feature a lattice casement and an oculus in the gable, along with decorative barge-boards. This group of estate cottages is noted for its historical significance as part of the Arle Court estate.
