Friends House September Cottage

Friends House and September Cottage are a pair of houses with an extension, now functioning as separate dwellings and basement flats. The extension is No 1A, with the flat below No 1 being Friends House and the flat below No 2 being September Cottage. These buildings date from the early 19th century and are constructed from coursed herringbone-tooled and margined sandstone. They feature a pantiled roof with stone dressings and rendered stacks. Each house has three storeys and a basement, with one wide bay. The doors consist of three fancy panels, paired in the center, and are topped by bracketed flat hoods, with traces of older gabled hoods visible behind. The ground and first floors have flanking 16-pane sash windows, while the top floor has later 9-pane sash windows. There are small basement windows, and a flight of steps leads to a terrace in front of the doors. The left extension is one storey and has a basement, featuring a modern door and three later 19th-century sash windows, and is included for group value. The buildings are supported by prominent curved kneelers that hold up the gable copings, with end stacks visible.
