Prospect Buildings

Prospect Buildings is a row of eight cottages located on Cross Lane in Ilminster, built around 1840. The cottages are constructed of painted brick with pantile roofs and feature brick stacks at the gable ends and between party walls. They are designed in pairs, each cottage being two stories high with a single window on the front. Above the paired round arches of the doors, there is a round-arched blind window. No. 14, which is on the left (east), retains its original planked door and has three-light casement windows with small panes. Cottages Nos. 11, 12, and 13 have 20th-century three-light casement windows, while the others feature plate glass. All doors and windows are adorned with keystones. The interiors have not been inspected but are reported to have been altered.
