Description
No 16, Foulden is a semi-detached cottage built in the mid to later 19th century, possibly incorporating earlier materials, with later additions and alterations. The cottage is symmetrical, two stories high, with upper windows that break the eaves. It has three bays and features a single-storey, two-bay wing that is recessed to the outer left, along with a lean-to addition at the rear. The exterior is made of squared and snecked tooled cream sandstone, with some ashlar dressings and rubble at the rear. The principal block has corbelled eaves adorned with dogtooth ornamentation, while the side wing has overhanging timber bracketed eaves. The building features droved quoins and long and short surrounds to chamfered margins, as well as timber mullions.
On the south (entrance) elevation, the principal block has a modern timber door set in a basket-arched surround, which is centered at the ground level. There are bipartite windows flanking the door, and above, in all bays, single windows that break the eaves are topped with broken, round-arched pediments featuring heart-shaped motifs and obelisk finials. The single-storey wing to the left has a boarded timber door on the right and a bipartite window to the left.
The principal block has uPVC glazing, while the side wing features an 8-pane timber sash and case window. The roof is covered with red tiles that have bell-cast eaves at the front, plain slates at the rear, and stone-coped skews with bracketed skewputts. There are brick-built ridge and apex stacks with circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1999.
