Description
Group of four houses built in the 1890s
Row of four cottages probably built in the 1890s (they appear on the 1897 Ordnance Survey map). They have the appearance of estate cottages and were perhaps associated with Andrews Farm which stood close by. The Denham Court sale catalogue of 1883 describes a “large boarded and tiled barn” which stood on the site of the current Roman Catholic church behind the cottages, presumably the source of the name. One storey plus attic – each cottage has two gabled dormers with white render and black and white timber decoration and barge boards. Red brick in Flemish bond and plain clay tiled roofs with ridge crests on main and dormer roofs. Two large chimney stacks on ridge – that to south altered and less ornate. Each cottage has gabled porch with clay tiled roof, wooden “Y” tracery in gable and supported by curved wooden struts. Attractive detailing including brick eaves cornice and relieving arches over doors and window and door-heads with carved zig-zag pattern. Sash windows to ground floor and casements to dormers – uPVC at front of nos. 1 & 2. This is a local building of note within the Conservation area of Denham. (B1)
