Row of three houses. 1904 by Ernest Newton for Richard Biddulph Martin. Coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and plain tiled roof with gable-end parapets and ball finials to south front and hipped at rear. Large ashlar stacks with moulded capping, two to main ridge and at ends of main range. H-plan; main four-bay range aligned east/west with two- bay west cross-wing and three-bay east cross-wing. Single storey and attic with half-dormers and string course at attic storey level which is stepped above doorways. South front elevation: windows are mainly of three lights with chamfered mullions and leaded casements. Central part has two ground floor windows, two gabled half-dormers with weatherboarded gables and 3-light leaded casements and beneath eaves to left of each dormer is a rectangular stair light. Beneath each stairlight is a square-headed archway into a small lobby with a half-glazed door. There is a window on both storeys in the cross- wing gable ends; the attic storey windows have hoodmoulds. Beneath the string of the east cross-wing gable end is inscribed "DORMAY COTTAGES/ AD 1904". The east side of the building facing the road has a ground floor window, a central gabled half-dormer and rectangular lights on both floors; beneath the central half-dormer is the entrance to No 54. To the rear of the central range are three gabled wings and to the rear of the cross-wings are lean-to service rooms with catslide roofs. The building appears to have been little altered since it was built. (Newton, W G: The Life and Works of Ernest Newton, London, 1925).
