Honeysuckle Cottage And Path Head

Honeysuckle Cottage and Path Head is a pair of cottages built around 1850 by William Butterfield for Lord Downe, with alterations made around 1980. They are constructed of pinkish brick in English garden wall bond and feature a plain purplish tiled roof. The cottages are single-storey with an attic and consist of two bays, with a rear outshut for Path Head and a cross-wing on the right side, aligned at the front with Honeysuckle Cottage.

The cross-wing has a half-hipped gable and includes a 20th-century bow window on the ground floor, along with another 20th-century window above that breaks into the timber framing. The two left bays remain unaltered, featuring a 4-panel door with a wooden frame and a segmental header-brick relieving arch to the right. Above the door is a small 2-light, small-pane window set under the eaves, and to its left are two 3-light, small-pane windows, with the outer lights being sashes. There is also a similar dormer window under a hipped roof at the center.

The roof is half-hipped on the left and hipped on the right, with a tabled, offset, cross-ridge stack between the left bays and another stack at the rear of the cross-wing. At the rear, the cross-wing features a half-hipped gable with a 20th-century window and additional 20th-century alterations that are not of special interest. The outshut on the right has a less steeply-pitched catslide roof, with a boarded door flanked by 3-light windows similar to the front, and an inserted window to the left.

The left return has a gabled blind projection with timber framing in the gable and paired 8-pane sashes. The right return features a gabled porch with a small 4-pane window, a door on the rear side, and a 20th-century interlocking tile roof, along with a small 4-pane window at the eaves on the right.
