Description

No 38, Foulden is a mid to later 19th century semi-detached cottage, which may include some earlier elements. It features a later 19th century single-storey wing on the right, along with additional alterations. The cottage is symmetrical, two-storey, and has three bays, with two bays on the upper floor. The single-storey wing is recessed to the right. The exterior is made of squared and snecked tooled cream sandstone with some ashlar dressings that are droved in parts. The principal block has corbelled eaves adorned with dogtooth ornamentation, while the side wing has overhanging timber bracketed eaves. The building includes droved quoins and long and short surrounds to the chamfered margins.

On the south elevation, the principal block features a part-glazed, timber gothic panelled door set in a basket-arched surround, centrally located at the ground level. There are bipartite windows on either side at the ground level, and above, single windows breaking the eaves are topped with round-arched, broken pediments that have heart-shaped motifs and obelisk finials. The single-storey wing to the right has a central row of four-light glazing, flanked by timber panelled doors in basket-arched surrounds. It also has a full-width verandah at the front supported by slender colonnette and annulet supports, with two louvred, trefoil openings in the gabled vents above.

The principal block has uPVC glazing, while the single-storey wing features three-pane timber windows. The roofs are covered with red tiles that have fishscale banding and bell-cast eaves at the front, with plain slates at the rear. There are remnants of decorative brattishing on the single-storey wing. The principal block has stone-coped skews and bracketed skewputts, along with brick-built ridge and apex stacks topped with various cans.

The interior was not seen in 1999.
