Netherton Cottages Including Cob Wall Adjoining To South

A group of four cottages, along with a cob wall, likely dating from the early 19th century and renovated around 1980. The structures incorporate elements that were originally stables, a coach house, and a barn. The building has an L-shaped layout enclosing a former farm courtyard and facing Netherton House. The western end contains a former coach house, now used as a store room. To the right are converted stables, forming a single-room cottage, followed by two cottages — one single-room and one two-room—at the eastern end. Axial and gable stacks are present. A threshing barn has also been converted into a separate cottage.

The north-facing front has a regular, though not symmetrical, 8-window arrangement, featuring 19th-century and replacement 20th-century casement windows with glazing bars. All entrances, including a large double door to the former coach house, cottage entrances, and the former stables doorway (with a transom light) are 20th-century replacements. Each of the three cottages features a 20th-century French window facing the courtyard. The courtyard side of the former barn displays a 3-window front with large 20th-century casements (ground floor without glazing bars), with thatch gables over the first-floor windows and the right-hand window extending to full height. A 20th-century doorway is located where a larger doorway once provided access to the former threshing floor. The rear elevation, facing the road, incorporates a single 20th-century window, and the former full-height doorway to the threshing floor is weather-boarded. This wing is also gable-ended.

Interior details are primarily the result of 20th-century modernization, featuring plain carpentry where exposed. A tall cob wall on stone rubble footings, with some slate coping, encloses the south and east sides of the former farm courtyard. A section of the east wall is entirely stone rubble. There were previously agricultural buildings located in front of the stone rubble section of the wall.
