Group Description
1 and 2 Tai Cochion
A reflected pair of 2-storey cottages in a vernacular-revival style characteristic of Douglas and influenced by Norman Shaw's Old English style. Of brick with hipped tile roofs with central shared stack. Windows are asymmetrically placed and have moulded brick dressings, mullions and sill bands, and between storeys is a string course. A central buttress in the lower storey divides the 2 cottages. In the lower storey each cottage has a 5-light mullioned window offset to the inner side and single-light window to the outer side. In the upper storey are 2-light windows to the inner and 3-light to the outer sides, each pair beneath a rendered gable with lozenge pattern in brick. The entrance to each cottage is in the side wall. The doorways, offset to the front, have cambered heads and boarded doors with strap hinges, above which are small windows beneath the eaves. Further towards the rear each cottage has a single-light window in the lower storey, 2-light mullioned window in the upper storey, and inserted window in the lower storey set back from the rear angle. The rear of each cottage has added C20 projections.
