Description
Oakleigh is a small house built in 1848 for the National Co-operative Land Company by F. O’Connor. It was altered in the 20th century. The exterior is characterised by wet-dash render over brickwork, a brick plinth, and a slate roof. It has a three-bay front with a lean-to extension to the rear, and is single-storey in height. The central bay is slightly projecting, with a gabled roof. A fully glazed front door, installed in the mid-20th century, is centrally positioned, flanked by single-light windows of similar date. A plain string course runs along the base of the gable, above which is a quatrefoil ventilator. A slightly projecting verge course is present, along with plain eaves rafters and a moulded corbel at the foot. Metal casement windows are located on either side. A slightly projecting double eaves course is also visible. Brick chimneys are situated on the gables at each end of the house, in the centre, and to the left of centre at the rear. The house is listed primarily for its historical and sociological significance, as it forms a group with other Chartist cottages and a nearby school. Originally, it was accompanied by a two-acre plot.
