Description

These estate cottages, known as Prestwick Rushmere, were built in 1908. They are a paired building of two bays, and two storeys, constructed with a brick ground floor and a tile-hung first floor, topped with a clay tile roof. The architectural style is Vernacular Revival. Rushmere was extended by one bay around 1950. A projecting gabled inner bay has extended eaves to form porches. The windows are three-light casements with glazing bars. Rushmere also incorporates a later bay window. The porch framing is composed of posts and braces. The roof is hipped with gables, featuring enriched central and end stacks. A garage door has been added to the later bay of Rushmere. The cottages were originally built for the estate of Arthur Lazenby Liberty, of Liberty and Co.
