Wayside And Orchard Cottage

Wayside and Orchard Cottage is a pair of cottages that were formerly used as workers' housing, built between 1920 and 1923. Designed by Fred Rowntree for the Quaker Trust, the cottages feature brick walls, tile roofs, and wood windows and doors.

The cottages are attached in one range, with each having a slightly projecting bay at the center that contains entrance doors. They have a pitched tile roof over a two-storey structure, with a central chimney at the ridge. Each cottage has a slightly projecting bay with a lower hipped roof and a central window on the first floor. A continuous flat string course made of vertically placed brick headers runs along the facade, and the cottages have wood multi-paned windows.

The interior has not been inspected but is believed to be plain, reflecting their original use as workers' cottages.

Located just off the 1919 Village Green in the village of Jordans, these cottages are part of a planned community designed for Quakers, which began construction in 1919 based on Fred Rowntree's designs from 1916. This terrace contributes to the group value of the historically significant Jordans village and is recognized for its mostly unaltered and well-designed workers' housing.
