Gothic Cottages Numbers 1 And 2

Gothic Cottages Numbers 1 and 2 are a pair of houses located on Stroud Road in Gloucester, dating from the 1830s, with a 20th-century addition at the rear. The buildings are constructed of ashlar stone and feature a fish-scale slate roof with elaborately scalloped eaves boards. They are designed in a picturesque Tudor Gothic style, characterized by steeply-pitched gables that have scalloped barge boards and shaped apex finials, along with an ashlar stack and two brick ridge stacks.

The cottages form a parallel range with a central cross-gabled projection at the front. To the left, there is a gabled entrance porch, and a hipped wing extends to the rear. The structure is one storey with an attic. The front gabled projection includes a large four-light stone mullioned casement window with an upper transom and an eared hoodmould above it. The porch has a coped gable with kneelers and an arched entrance doorway that features a 20th-century vertical boarded door. Above the porch is a cross-gable with a two-light casement window in the central gable and a single-light casement in the left gable. To the right, there is a tall, projecting ashlar stack with side offsets and a corbelled cap.

The gabled ends of the range are identical, each featuring a central slightly projecting bay capped by a cornice below a stone roof. Within each end-gable, there is a two-light stone mullioned casement window with a central stone mullion. All the casements have 20th-century glazing. The interior has not been inspected.
