Description

Kew Cottage is a 2-storey building made of painted brick with slate roofs and end wall stacks. It is part of a row that includes a single unit cottage and two 2-unit cottages, with Kew Cottage being the central house and likely the oldest part of the row. The cottage has a 2-unit layout and features a near-central segmentally arched doorway. On each floor, there are flanking windows that are 2-light horizontally sliding sashes with small panes. The building has a dentilled eaves band and end-wall stacks, with the left stack set slightly to the right of the gable line.

To the left of Kew Cottage is Ferndale, a single unit cottage that has a doorway in an added gabled porch to the right and a former shop window to the left, featuring paired 12-pane sashes within a moulded panelled architrave supported by brackets to the entablature. Above this, there is a 3-light casement window, and Ferndale also has a dentilled eaves band. To the right is Cintra, which also has a 2-unit plan and a doorway towards the centre in an added gabled porch. The flanking windows on each floor are small-paned horizontally sliding sashes with 2 and 3 lights, and it too features a dentilled eaves band.
