Description

Butterfield Cottages, a terrace of three cottages, was built around 1850 by William Butterfield for the Wykeham estate. The cottages are constructed of pink brick in English bond, with rendered sides and rear, and feature a pantile roof with rendered brick stacks and tiled timber porches. The central-entry plan consists of a two-storey range, with each cottage having three bays and a single-storey outbuilding to the left.

Each cottage has a gabled and projecting entrance bay; the center cottage's bay is full-height, while the end cottages are single-storey. Each cottage has a board door beneath a bracketed gabled porch, with the center porch being hipped. The doors are flanked by three-light, small-pane horizontal-sliding sash windows on one side and tall, narrow eight-pane fixed lights on the other. The first-floor windows consist of two-light, small-pane horizontal-sliding sashes on the end cottages and replacement casements on the center cottage. All windows have shaped brick sills, with segmental relieving arches over the ground-floor windows and flat arches over the first-floor windows. The steeply-pitched roof features end stacks for each cottage. The outbuilding has similar openings. These cottages are noted as "the most complete" example of this type of Butterfield terrace according to Paul Thompson in his 1971 work on William Butterfield.
