Description
2 Morham Mains Cottages is a U-plan symmetrical range built in the later to late 19th century, originally consisting of 6 farm cottages, though it currently has 5. The structure is made from squared and snecked, stugged sandstone with ashlar dressings featuring chamfered arrises.
The south elevation has 13 bays, with the outer bays advanced. The central 5 bays contain 2 single-storey and attic cottages, featuring a depressed, keystone arched pend in the center, with doorways in the flanking bays and windows beside the doors. Gabled dormer windows break the eaves above these cottages. Each of the flanking single-storey, 3-bay cottages has a doorway flanked by windows. The advanced outer bays have jerkin-head roofs, and former windows have been blinded; doorways are located on the inner return elevations, with the eastern doorway blocked as a window and an additional window on the western side.
The north elevation features smaller windows, piend-roofed projections on the outer cottages, and later added porches. There are 2 flat-roofed, leaded dormers inserted above the center. The building showcases a variety of glazing patterns in the sash and case windows, brick stacks, and is topped with purple slates and decorative terracotta ridge tiles.
