8 Slug Road Including Terraced Garden And Boundary Walls

10 Slug Road is a pair of linked Free Style cottages built around 1900, with an extension added to No 8 circa 1990. The cottages are tall, single storey with an attic, featuring four bays and deep eaves overhangs. They are set high above Slug Road, overlooking a terraced garden that slopes steeply to the east. The exterior is made of roughly cut snecked rubble with quoins, and includes a banded cill course and boarded eaves overhang. Notable architectural features include corbels, timber transoms, and mullions.

The principal elevation is symmetrical, with a corbelled pier at the center flanked by 5-light canted windows. The center lights are narrow doors that are now blocked. The outer bays have square-section timber piers that support the overhanging roof, forming a porch with a set-back timber door featuring three vertical panels below diamond-pattern glazed top lights, along with similar narrow flanking lights. Above the center bays, there are raised center windows set back in triangular timber dormers.

The north and south elevations have piended roofs with dormer gablets at the center and smaller versions of the dormer window to the east over the boarded porch area. No 8 to the south has a lower piend-roofed extension. The cottages feature multi-pane glazing patterns in top-opening timber windows, grey slate roofs, and coped squared rubble chimney stacks with some cans. The deeply overhanging eaves have plain bargeboarding.

Inside, some fine details have been retained, including decorative plasterwork cornices, architraved panelled timber doors with a horizontal over vertical pattern, and timber-balustered staircases with square corniced newel posts and a curved parapet at the landing. No 8 includes original cupboards with decoratively-astragalled display shelving flanking the fire breast in the principal room.

The terraced garden to the east features small irregular terraces and is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls with a pedestrian gate.
