Description
Nos 1-11 Garden Suburbs is an asymmetrical group of six cottages built to accommodate a slope. Number 1 is stepped up, while numbers 9 and 11 are stepped down. The cottages are pebbledashed with some tile dressings and feature a tiled roof with swept eaves and three ridge stacks, the center stack being reduced. They are two storeys high.
Numbers 1 and 7 have wide full-height gables with four-light cambered-arched windows, each with brick sills on both floors. There is a gabled porch with decorative tile kneelers and a side entrance to number 1, which matches the entrance at number 11 on the other end. Numbers 3 and 5, as well as 9 and 11, have paired lower gables, with similar three-light windows on the first floor and four-light windows on the ground floor of numbers 9 and 11. Numbers 3 and 5 feature splayed bays under tiled roofs, with hoods over the doorways of numbers 3 and 9, and porches on numbers 5 and 7. Some original leaded casement glazing has been retained, although the windows and doors have been renewed.
