Description
Colbury Cottages is a range of three estate cottages built around the 1860s. The cottages are constructed from polychrome red and black brick, with the first floor featuring tile-hanging and bands of shaped tiles. They have a gabled roof covered with clay plain tiles and brick axial stacks. The layout consists of No. 2 in the center, flanked by Nos. 1 and 3 in cross-wings at either end, all designed in a Victorian Picturesque style. The exterior is one storey with an attic and presents a symmetrical four-bay west front, featuring gabled projecting cross-wings on both sides. There is a tiled canopy over the central verandah, with two gabled dormers above it. The windows are diamond lattice 2 and 3-light casements, with those on the ground floor having cambered brick arches, and there are plank doors. The interiors have not been inspected.
