Hethpool Cottages

Hethpool Cottages are a pair of semi-detached cottages built in 1926 by Robert Mauchlin for Sir Arthur Munro Sutherland. The cottages are constructed from brick, painted and roughcast in different sections, and feature a Devonian slate roof and ashlar chimneys. A notable round tower feature is located on the right return, made from random rubble with ashlar dressings.

The cottages are designed in the Arts-and-Crafts style and stand at one and a half storeys. Each pair consists of ten bays, with six-bay centres and slightly projecting, cross-gabled, two-bay wings. In the third and eighth bays, there are plank and battened doors set in round-headed doorways, which are adorned with ashlar arches, keystones, and imposts.

The ground floor features 16-pane sash windows, while the first floor has 12-pane sashes in the wings and dormer windows. A low linking archway between the blocks is made of ashlar and has a round-headed arch with a keystone, flanked by cruciform recesses.

On the right return, there is a single-storey round projection that includes two 12-pane sashes and a conical roof topped with a stone thistle finial.
