Description
This is a pair of cottages, and a lych gate, dating from 1902 and designed by W C Joass. The cottages, named Conon Cottage and 1-6 Conon Homes, are in need of repair. They are constructed from squared rubble with ashlar dressings, galleting, and harl pointing, featuring a broached bull-faced base course. The roofs are covered in much-weathered red tiles, with some tiles missing, and scalloped bargeboarding is present.
Conon Cottage is a single-storey and attic gabled cottage with a three-bay west-facing elevation. This elevation is dominated by two overlapping advanced gabled bays, the larger of which is centrally positioned and features a depressed arch chamfered ashlar doorway and a window within the gablehead. A smaller recessed bay is to the left with a blocked window, while a lean-to addition extends from the right bay. The south-facing elevation also has a gabled form, featuring a canted window on an advanced panel and a window in the gablehead. The rear, east-facing elevation has a later lean-to concrete porch to the outer right, a central window, a long horizontal window to the penultimate right bay, a gabled dormer to the left of centre, and a wallhead stack.
1-6 Conon Homes are a pair of symmetrical, semi-detached, single-storey and attic cottages arranged in a near-U-plan. The west-facing elevation has six bays with a small bipartite window flanked by larger bipartites on either side, a mirroring effect about the centre, and four gabled, tile-hung dormers above. The north and south side elevations are similarly mirrored, with a gabled bay to the west, a later lean-to concrete addition to the west of the gable, an original timber porch with latticed bark covering and a segmental roof to the east of the gable, and a door with a three-pane fanlight on the return to the east, along with a small window to the centre and a bipartite to the outer east bay. The rear elevation features lean-to concrete porches to the centre, masking the advanced gable ends of the outer bays. The glazing patterns are currently masked by timber boards. The chimneys are ashlar, with a four-square design for Conon Cottage and tall grooved ashlar detailing to the ridge and gableheads of Conon Homes. The interiors are plain and in poor condition.
The lych gate, situated on Station Road, is a gabled timber structure with slatted timber to the sides, decorative strut posts and beams to the entrances and gableheads, and a pitched red tile roof with plain bargeboards and ridge tiles. Low rubble coped rubble walls define the boundaries to Station Road, with higher walls to School Road.
