This two storey terrace of farm cottages constitute outbuildings to the Great Meadow complex which is separately described with respect to the main house. However the half timbered and cement rendered slate pitch roofed dwellings are worthy of note in their own right.


No two cottages are quite the same in their design so that the elevational treatment reflects various room sizes in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. The eaves line is sometimes broken up upper floor windows and sometimes not. When the eaves line is broken there may be either a partial raising of the roof or a complete dormer with gable treatment. Yet there is consistancy to the half timbered work of the second floor which serves to unify the otherwise more broken line of the plain stucco ground floor. Some of the cottages have an externally applied vestibule disrupting the continuity of the ground floor and the whitewashed stone wall separating the farm yard is carried into the facade of the terrace. No interior inspection was made and the buildings appear in need of repair. It has been suggested in the recommendation for the main house that the entire complex be listed for preservation as a grouping in a manner which enables the modernisation of individual buildings within character restraints. The same ruling would include this terrace which is set in a completely separate part of the grounds to the main house and gardens.
