Description
Numbers 13 and 14, known as Jo's Cottage, are a pair of cottages built between 1900 and 1901 by architect William Huckvale for Charles Rothschild. They are constructed from coursed rubblestone and feature a hipped thatch roof with a stone central ridge and end stacks, which include ashlar linked double and triple flues. Designed in the Vernacular Revival style, the cottages are two storeys high, with the roof sloping down to first floor level in the center.
The front facade has a three-window arrangement, consisting of 3-light leaded stone mullioned windows on either side of a central dormer that has a paired 2-light window. On the ground floor, there is a similar 4-light window with a hoodmould on either side of a recessed central section that contains additional windows and doors. The roofs at the ends of the cottages also slope down to first floor level. This pair is part of a significant group of model estate buildings in Ashton, built by Charles Rothschild.
