Description
Poltorks Cottages, located on the Forthampton Estate, are semi-detached estate cottages built in 1858, as indicated by the diamond-shaped datestone with the initials JY/1858 on the left gable end. The cottages are constructed of red brick and feature a red tile roof adorned with bands of fishscale tiling, along with a brick stack. The main structure is rectangular and includes two projecting porches, with a 20th-century lean-to extension at the rear.
The cottages are one storey with an attic, which is illuminated by two roof dormers. The facade is symmetrical, featuring two 3-light casement windows with limestone stopped hoods on the ground floor. All windows are fitted with diamond leaded panes. The projecting gabled porches on either side have basket-headed entrances, with a plank door set back within the left-hand porch and glazed double doors at the front of the right-hand porch. The cottages also have a twin diagonally set central stack. The interior has not been inspected.
