Cranford St Davids And Woodside And Fir Tree Cottage And Hawthorn Cottage And The Homstead

Cranford St Davids, Woodside, Fir Tree Cottage, Hawthorn Cottage, and The Homestead are a group of terraced cottages that were built in 1919 as housing for workers. Designed by Fred Rowntree for the Quaker Trust, these cottages feature brick walls, tile roofs, and wooden windows, including both sashes and casements. The cottages are named rather than numbered.

The layout consists of six attached cottages, with two projecting sections at each end. The facade has these projecting sections with sweeping roofs that extend to the ground floor, and dormers are present in the center and sides. The central range is two storeys high, with second-floor windows set into a slightly overhung roof. Prominent chimneys are visible, and the windows are wood flush-framed, multi-paned sashes, along with casements and plank exterior doors. Each projecting section has corner entrance porches with hipped roofs supported by columns made of flint and brick. The entrances to the central range are flanked by brick pilasters topped with abstract capitals.

While the interior has not been inspected, it is believed to be plain, reflecting its original purpose as workers' housing. The cottages face directly onto the 1919 Village Green, which is at the heart of the village of Jordans.

The construction of Jordans village began in 1919, based on Fred Rowntree's designs from 1916, aiming to create an ideal planned community for Quakers. This terrace is part of a group with other surviving terraces around the Village Green, originally intended for workers at Jordans Village Industries. The terrace is listed for its contribution to the group value of the historically significant Jordans village and as a range of mostly unaltered and well-designed workers' housing.
