Hinton Cottages, With Their Outhouses 3 Metres To North East

Hinton Cottages, consisting of Nos 1 and 2, are semi-detached farm cottages built around 1861. They are constructed from local lias stone that is carefully cut, squared, and coursed, with Ham stone dressings. The cottages feature a plain clay tile roof adorned with ornamental tiles and ridges, plain bargeboards, and wood finials at the verges, along with a central brick chimney stack. The buildings are two stories high with a two-bay central projection that includes side porches. The outer doors are boarded and set within arched timber porches with tiled roofs. The windows are plain chamfer mullioned with rectangular leaded lights and no labels, comprising three lights below and two lights above, situated under double gables. There are extensions at the rear and matching single-storey outhouses located 2 to 3 metres behind, which include WCs and feature an ornamental tile ridge on their small pitched roofs. These cottages appear to have been designed by an architect, as Sir Arthur Blomfield restored Hinton Farm House across the street in a matching style. Similar brick cottages in the parish may be copies of this pair, with two brick "copies" existing on the Goodford estate within the parish, namely "Amhurst" and a pair of cottages located 20 metres west of Old Sock Cottage.
