Description
Barham Cottage is a terrace of three dwellings with an adjoining cottage to the north, which has now been incorporated into the main structure. It dates from the early 19th century and was altered in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of red brick, with a rendered section on the left side. It has a steeply pitched slate roof with a projecting hipped centre, overhanging eaves, and soffit boards. A late 20th century metal strip bargeboard is visible on the left gable end of the main block. A lower, independently roofed section with a double Roman tiled roof and a brick gable stack is located at the left end. The main block has brick stacks at the gable ends and to the right of the centre; the cottage has a brick stack at its gable end.
The building is two storeys high and consists of a 2:6 bay arrangement. Plain pilasters distinguish the ends and the central bay. The first floor has a 16-pane sash window on the left side, a C20 casement in the centre, two 12-pane sash windows with segmental heads in the centre, a C20 many-paned casement, and a 12-pane sash window on the right side. The ground floor features a 16-pane sash window on the left side, a C20 window where a door was previously blocked, two 12-pane sash windows to the right of the entrance (Number 3), a 16-pane sash window to the right of the entrance (Number 2), and both have part-glazed gabled clay tiled porches set on brick plinths. The adjoining cottage on the left has a C20 window on its first floor on the right side, while on the left side there are remnants of a much-altered 3-light leaded iron casement. A similar window is located below, and a C20 door is situated on the right side, with a gabled porch (Number 4). The terrace was likely built as a small speculative development.
