Ferry Lane Cottages

A row of four small cottages stands on Ferry Lane in Medmenham. Dating to the early 19th century, they were refurbished and extended in the 1960s. The cottages are constructed of flint with brick dressings, and feature an old tile roof, half-hipped at the left end, with brick chimneys positioned between the original outer bays.

The cottages are two storeys high with four original bays. They have 3-light leaded casement windows, renewed in the 20th century, set within bonded brick surrounds; the ground-floor windows are topped with segmental arches. Narrow bonded brick strips connect the centres of the upper and lower windows. Contemporary doors, one to the left and two to the centre, are sheltered by attractive late 19th century wooden porches. These porches have moulded cornices on slender columns, slat balustrades, decorative lattice screens, and internal benches. The cottage on the right hand side has a doorway that was altered to a casement window, and there's a matching two-bay extension with an archway through to the rear at the right end of the row.
