A pair of estate cottages, now privately owned. Dated 1899 on front. Red brick, partly finished with tile-hanging and partly with mock timbering. Plaintiled roofs. One-and-a-half storeys: half-H form, with a hipped, single- storey projection from each gable containing an entry and porch. A chimney- stack with 4 hexagonal shafts to each wing, and 2 smaller stacks with similar shafts to the central range. Brick ground storey: all the windows are original casements with a single horizontal bar. Each wing has a jetty with carved supports to the first floor, tile-hanging to the upper storey, and a 4- light oriel window with a coved timber base. The gable projects slightly at eaves level, and the apex has mock timbering, carved barge-boards and a hanging finial. The centre has a lean-to veranda roof supported on posts along the ground storey, and 22-light casement windows to the upper storey with gablet roofs finished with barge-boards and finials to match the gables. The only example in Stanton of the ornate cottages built on the estate of John Martineau of Walsham-le-Willows in the later C19. Formerly attached to Wrenshall Farm.
