Description

Osborne Cottage is a semi-detached cottage located in Hurst, dating from the 18th century and later. It is constructed of ham stone near-ashlar and features a double Roman clay tile roof that is hipped to the north and has an abutment to the south, along with a brick chimney stack. The cottage has two storeys and five bays. The first and second bays contain garages with 20th-century doors beneath concrete lintels, and above them are 3-light casement windows. The third bay features wide 2-light mullioned windows that show no signs of removed mullions, with an ovolo-mould below and a hollow-chamfer above. The fourth bay has 3-light hollow-chamfer mullioned windows in a conventional style. The fifth bay has wide mullioned windows similar to those in bay two, but with square-leaded panes and no labels. Below bay five, there is a 20th-century stone porch with a felted flat roof that incorporates several fragments of earlier buildings. The interior has not been seen.
